I am beside myself with my 4 1/2 year old male Marley. He is the sweetest most loving boy but recently on walks with a leash he has started barking and becoming vocal with certain other dogs. Today he was approached by a group of three other dogs. He sniffed at first, then growled and then bore his teeth and lunged at the two dogs.
I am concerned about this sudden aggression and have no idea why this has started or what to do about it. I am waiting for a call back from the trainer we went to as a puppy.
When Marley is off the leash or with dogs he knows he is fine. He will tolerate most all dogs even puppies with no more than a warning growl and tries to escape from them. He definitely likes people a lot more than other dogs- which is new to me. He seems to exhibit this aggressive behavior only while walking on a leash with me, not my husband.
Very worried- Any advice appreciated.
