Sasha hates blokes.

I was just taking sash for a walk and met my next door neighbour whos a bloke. He quite likes dogs so stoke and like to fuss them.
Today he tried to say hello to sash and she went "mad" at him. Barking in anger but didnt bite him. I gave him a treat to offer sasha and she took it hatily and started barking angryly at him again with growling too.
When sasha was a pup we had a male fried who thinks hes knows it all and started shouting at her to shut up etc. Since then she has been very angry to all men who give her attention.
Shes ok with bloke if they have another dog with them but when there on their own she starts if they dont just ignore her.
What can i do to stop this cause i dont want sash having a bad name. She is quite well known to people ad has a good reputation but this is something i cant seem to stop.
Sorry for the essay but any hel will be apreciated.
Thanks.

thanks for the reply and the questions.lol. Ok here goes.

How old is she?.......... 12 months.

How long have you had her?....... bout 8 months.

Is it ALL men?......men tha try to give her attention. If they ignore her shes ok of if they have a dog.

Where does it happen, on/off lead ? Street/field ? .......mainly on the lean but she has done it occasionally off. Both street and field.

Any barking/growling at women/kids ?.....shes tends to ignore kids and she is genrally ok with women.

Just barking/growling or also jumping/lungeing ?.........seems to be just barking and growling in this incident but she did try to jump but i was holding her back.

Do you always go the same walk everyday ?.....no. I try and vary her walks as much as i can. Some times fields but most of the time will be thru the estate.


She is going thru a phase where she is being a pain and not comming back on call to put her lead on so im gona look into getting a long lead. i have a halti and retractable one i use use quite often.

Hope the info helps.

my sasha is the same (we got her at 18 months so unsure of her past) however she will allow no male in the house (except me!) and if any walk towards her in the street I hold her back & politely say 'she don't like men sorry'.

However if I move towards the guy and say Hi (neighbour, friend etc) then she is ok so it sounds like she could just be protecting you? Remember guys have a deeper voice then women & a more threatening stance.

good point. I know my mate didnt help for when she was younger. I still hate him for it now cause it feels like ive got an up hill struggle ow. Im hoping itll grow out of her as she gets older and i socialise her more.

Theres a place called gilpin bridge not far from me where bikers meet up. Ill take her there and see how she goes. ill take her muzzle to be on the safe side.
