Help with 10 month female bull terrier
I have a 10 month old bull terrier, she's very sweet and affectionate, but when walking her I sometimes struggle to control her anxiety, especially when she sees other dogs.
She spots dogs from far away and it becomes almost impossible to get her attention back, she lies flat on the ground waiting for them so she can play. On top of that, since I live in a neighborhood with a lot of dogs, I barely get out of one situation before I'm already in another.
Also, I'm having a hard time getting her to understand the 'stay' command, she holds it for a few seconds but then starts moving again.
I follow a force-free / R+ approach (no corrections, no verbal scolding), just calm and consistent responses. Would love advice that fits within that framework, as well as any recommended resources!
