I have an eight month GSD who is great at obedience – except when other dogs are around. He switches off completely and just wants to play. I have been taking him to training classes to get him used to distractions. It is not a pleasurable experience at all – I feel so out of control. I will stick with it and hope pup begins to calm down when other dogs are present.

Particularly bad with female dogs. 2 days ago he went racing off after one even after it had gone out of sight and I thought he was safe to be let off the lead. I had him castrated about 10 days ago as he was also trying to hump male dogs !
His recall is good at all other times even out of sight and even when sniffing round things, just not with other dogs. The last couple of days I’ve reinforced the treats on recall and I have been attempting to preempt the running off so if I spot a dog I call him put him on lead and sit out the other dog going past whilst praising and rewarding for not lunging after the other dog. Am considering a long line. Any other suggestions ?I don’t have friends with dogs to practice on.
