Help needed. Finding it hard to deal with peoples negative perception of greyhounds and being told off that our greyhound strikes or lunges at their dog?
Our greyhound spends time with with herding Aussie Shepards. He never displayed herding behaviour until them. He is doing it with other dogs now sometimes and his is being accused of striking at other dogs or lunging at them. He passed all the tests and he is not an aggressive dog he passed the greenhound training but you know with having a greyhound comes a stigma. I am finding it hard that people judge us and that our dog has to have 100% perfect behaviour and other dogs can do the same thing and not get told off. Does anyone else deal with this negative stigma and how can I deal with it. It is very upsetting being told our greyhound who has passed all the tests is called a savage. What can I say to people who are rude and mean and judge him and us? Also, how do we train this herding behaviour out of him?
Any support would be appreciated.
