@Nick Benger thank you so much. We don’t really know what breed she is but we are assuming she is a lab mixed with a schnauzer most likely. I’ll add a photo and maybe you can give me your thoughts too. Our biggest challenge is that she is super fearful and therefore reactive (growling and barking). I want to fix it and help her before it more than likely gets worse, which is biting. The core of the issue is that she doesn’t listen 100% of the time and I think it’s because she doesn’t trust us to protect her in certain situations or she is too overwhelmed to even process what we say to her. She trains brilliantly inside but whenever we go anywhere with her, she switches off and her focus is gone.
