Anxious and aggressive on walks

by Anisha
(UK)

My Luna is 3 years old. She gets very anxious when we go on walks and will bark randomly at people, other dogs and sometimes even lunge at them. At home she is playful, happy and so calm. I don’t know why she’s so stressed outside.


She exhibits aggression about 50% of the time when we are out. But when she does like another dog or human, she is the most loving and gentle dog with them.

I appreciate all your advice. Thank you very much.

My boy does the same thing, he has done since he was a pup. Even in puppy school, he never out grew it. I believe it has to do with him being on a lead. When he is off a lead he plays with any dog big or little. His best friend is a 5 pound chihuahua, His other friends are shelties and Golden’s.
