Pet's info: Dog | Dachshund (Miniature Smooth Haired) | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 10 months old | 10 lbs
My two -year old unneutered mini dachshund is super afraid of bigger size dogs. Everytime he sees a big dog getting close to him, he'd either run away if he can or show aggression to protect himself even the other dog has no intent to hurt him. I really want to know what is the most right and effective way to train him not afraid of big dogs. For example, what should i do next time we see another dog while walking if JOJO keeps pushing himself back and try to escape?
