Anyone with dog training experience?
We have an 18 month old lab mix named Lucy that we rescued from the SPCA when she was about 6-8 weeks old. She is a very smart and affectionate dog, but she has always been nervous and skittish. Her reaction to strange things or new people has started to become growling which is just not acceptable to us. There are multiple kids in our neighborhood and everyone plays at all the houses. She has snapped at one child that put their hand in her crate once.
We have considered one of those "Doggy Boot Camps" for a couple weeks but those are around $800. Does anyone have any suggestions for training tips to get her to socialize better? Any books or resources I should check out?
