My pup becomes defensive when he sees another dog. It doesn't matter if we're in the car or out for a walk. I can't be sure if he is this way with others or if it's just with family members.
I've taken him to doggie day care to give him the chance to interact with other dogs and they report no problem. They say he doesn't interact with the other dogs but bark or snap at them either. When I drop him off he is nervous and stays beside me but doesn't bark or snap at the other dogs that come into the room, which is much different then when he is at home.
Any ideas as to why he seems to be acting so protective?
Thanks
