HI There Everyone.

I am unsure if anyone can help me.

I have a very beautiful 11 month of 3/4 English 1/4 American red staffie. With humans she is fantastic could not ask for a better dog, my parents 6 yr old Lab who she has been brought up with most of her life she gets along well with and also with my sisters 11 yr old english staffie she also gets along well.

BUT as soon as I take her for a walk and she sees another dog close buy she starts making a funny noise and pulling hard on the lead to get to the other dog. When this first started happening I thought it was she wanted to play with the other dog so I would walk her to them, then as we would get closer the funny noise she was making would get louder and then she would have a go at the other dog. This has happened numerous times now and am at the point now that if another dog it walking on the same side of the st as us I have to cross the rd and walk on the other side so this does not happen again! She went though puppy pre school when she was 3 months and got along well with the other dogs, but now this has changed.

I live at the coast and would love nothing more than to let her off the lead at the beach so she can have a run and swim, but cant allow this due to the fact if she saw another dog she could harm them.
In the past 3 weeks we have moved house and the neighbour who has a 11 month old bull terrier broke some pailings off the fence and got into my backyard to play with my dog, they get along like a house on fire, like best friends that wont stop playing, running around, licking etc etc I could not believe this due to how she is when going for her daily walk.

CAN ANYONE HELP ME?????

Kindest Regards

Shawn
