Not sure what to do: Just got another dog so my Mali would have a playmate and companion other than me, but this little boy dog won’t stop trying to mount her. I’ve only had him for 3 days but his efforts are increasing instead of decreasing. I verbally correct him, I pull him off her, I put him in his crate and I keep him on a leash when it’s too much. Not sure what I’m missing and I couldn’t find a video to help me. Can you help?

Hi my 2 year old Dutch Shepherd is reactive to other dogs puppies, especially dogs that have gone for her first, no matter what I do I can’t stop it, I throw food onto the floor, walk the other way, distract her with a toy but she is always watching out of the corner of her eye. We are now having to move out of our obedience class and go on our own, we had a problem with 2 dogs going for her they were off lead and in our class she hasn’t forgotten. do you think I will ever get on top of it. We do everything on our own. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Robert, greetings from Philadelphia. 3 months ago I adopted a 2 year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier. He has some of the classic resource guarding behavior, leash reactivity, and aggressive behavior towards strangers. He has resource guarded our couch and bit my brother on the leg (who lives with us) when he sat on the couch. Not a bad bite, but unacceptable. We were too nice from the start, everything should have started from the crate and earned from there. We fell into the “I feel bad” trap for a bit. I am seeking professional help, but any advice you can give would be appreciated!
Thanks

Robert, thank you for answering my question last week about the 2 females who play, but it escalates. Your advice has been working! I see earlier in their play behavior when to say, “HEY, knock it off!” Now, I step towards them and they stop, without vocal correction. The pit goes directly to her crate to chill without instruction 100%! The Malamute/pit (9 month old puppy) goes directly to her crate 50% of the time. The other half, she runs under the dining room table to hide, still playing games. Any follow-up advice for correcting this behavior with Piper? Thank you so much for your help!
