I have an English Bull Terrier that is exactly the same. He's great with people (loves cats) but fights with 96% of dogs that come near him. He was attacked a couple of times by other dogs when he was a puppy and now he just doesn't give them the chance to get in there first. He's savage too. Won't stop until he's got his teeth sunk into them. Then he won't let go.
I just keep him on a leash all the time and warn other dog owners to keep their own dogs under control so they don't come near him. It's not much fun having a dog like that, but I haven't found a 100% technique to change it, so I treat it like there's always a possibility of a fight.
Probably one of the biggest problems is that I get anxious in anticipation of a problem, so he reacts to it.
- if this camp goes well i'll let you know. It's so sad i really don't want to part with her for that long :(tasty
