Advice Needed Non aggressive reactivity
I know I most likely need a professional trainer and I will be looking for one when I have extra funds, but any advice until then is appreciated. I have a 2 year old standard poodle female. She is not aggressive at all. She plays with other dogs fine, other dogs have even taken food right out of her mouth and zero reaction. The problem is she is very reactive to other dogs and with her larger than body bark it comes off very aggressive. I know it’s more a barrier/restraint thing as she only acts like this on leash or when there is a gate. She has been very socialized since a young puppy and this really only started being a thing since she’s been about 1.5 years old. I have tried so many things like distractions, avoidance to some degree, e collars and nothing has helped. I’m losing my mind here, she is actually extremely gentle but was maybe a Rottweiler in her past life as she is so loud even when playing. Advice?
