We decided to spruce things up and fix some things under the hood. If you notice any issues, feel free to contact us as we're sure there are a few things here or there that we might have missed in our upgrade.
Boxergirl - Kahlua also prefers her space when it comes to unknown people and unknown dogs. Personally I agree with her and think it is a little rude to jump into the space of someone you don't even know. She isn't nearly as anxious as it sounds like Albus is but she is happier and more comfortable to have her personal space. Diesel on the other hand would adore having his space invaded by strange dog or person ... a little too much. So I don't allow him to greet people or dogs while on walks except on rare occasions if he is being VERY good and calm.
There are many things it can be. Arousal, Frustration, Bravado, a communication based on what the other dog is communicating, etc. The important thing, in my opinion, is not to let her practice these behaviors. A simple "eh eh" may suffice and praise for a calm appropriate response. As she is learning and growing, if she continues to practice them, the chances are good they will intensify.
Have you got your little love in any training classes yet?
