just a quickie. Our 2 yr old Female Joey is a great dog. She is well behaved and responsive. We have a large garden with a path on one side with many walkers etc. She is quite protective of our garden i.e some mild barking. She will also not let anybody strange in the garden unless they are met by me. She has never bitten or shows any signs of biting, she is ( for me) a perfect family guard dog. No complaints.
However, when we go on holidays we stay in caravan parks with many other people and sometimes dogs everywhere. This is a mild problem in the day as she is OK, but at night she wants to growl at everybody who is walking near ( 50m) and this is a problem.
How can I get her to understand that her behaviour is good at home, but there are other rules on holiday, and that her comfort zone is a lot smaller there...It is not a major problem, but is there anything I can do before the holidays to start training, or do I just need to train there? not so relaxing nights sleep
I also donīt want her to feel that her behaviour at home is a problem as I am often alone and like her early warning system.
thanks for any advice...
Annie and Joey
