Hi guys, first time poster here.
I have a 10 month old Maltese, hes absolute amazing, very playful and loving. He loves other dogs and when off the lead plays with them without any issues and has never been aggressive.
However, i have an issue when out walking him that i was wondering if anyone here had encountered similar or could suggest any solutions.
basically i think he is suffering from barrier frustration when on the lead, if we come across other dogs, he goes absolutely insane in order to get to them, if we try to pick him up he will actually bite us at this point (something he would never ever do ordinarily) He has been neutered, and this didnt change the behaviour. Its like he has completely lost his head and you are not able to communicate anything to him at this point.
I have tried training him with repeated treats when we see other dogs etc but it had little if no effect.
The other issue is more minor, but i walk
