I got Emma from the shelter about 8 weeks ago. She's very sweet and well behaved, except that she barks at and charges men. Not all men, but most. She sees a man and she barks, her hackles raise and she plants herself right in front of them. However, as soon as they say Hi Emma or speak to her she's okay. But this scares me. What happens when she does this to a non dog person? I'm very afraid she'll bite someone. She's my first dog so I'm rather ignorant, but it seems like a fear response to me. Was she abused by a man? I guess it doesn't matter, I just need advice on how to stop this behavior. Thanks.
Did I mention that other than this and some cat poo eating she's the perfect dog??
