My Dalmation has a great off switch inside, I’ll start with that. Outside he’s so rough I genuinely worry he’ll hurt someone. For gloves/toys or anything in our hands he will jump lunge and bite for it (often biting my hands). I had a behaviourist confirm that it’s not resource guarding and she gave some tips (still not seeing the results, I reached out for more guidance)
In the meantime I’d love any advice/encouragement! I just wanna play fetch and tug – it makes him so happy but I end up fretting (we’re working on drop it/leave it – this behaviour/arousal level is to fast for a command atm). For the longest time I wouldn’t even play with him, hoping he’d outgrow it – he stayed the same.
