My dog won’t stop barking at bikes
I have an Australian cattle dog. I’ve had her about 3 years, got her when she was 1 ish. She was a rescue from a puppy mill and was fostered by my aunt (a dog trainer) in like very rural PA for a few months before I adopted her and moved to Arlington, VA(a very city, city)
She has honestly progressively gotten worse behavior wise since I’ve gotten her. She is an absolute sweetheart, and truly a genius. I know she can learn things but she is so stubborn.
The main issue is bikes, motorcycles, scooters. Which there are a ton of all over Arlington. She goes insane. Ballistic. Just an embarrassing out of control full body bark and pull. We’ve tried exposure training, mainly my bf riding his bike around her and all that did was make her tolerable to him on his bike and no one else. We’ve tried several times of muzzles, a collar that made noise, and even a shock collar which she didn’t even seem to notice was going off. I believe part of her behavior issues are due to her lack of activity and a job, as I know I own a working breed. My bf and I are extremely active people and she could be coming out to do all kinds of stuff with us, but we can’t take her anywhere because of the bikes. I’m open to literally any suggestions. She is good about coming to me and checking in to a nose tap to my hand when there are other distractions if I click my mouth. She won’t do it for bikes/motorcycles/scooters
Please help
