So this might sound weird, but our 10 month dog barks at any black dog she sees – regardless of it's size or how far it is – she barks at it.
Weirdly enough, she was raised with a big black lab before we adopted her, but they have no issues with eachother.
I've seen tips to socialize her more with black dogs, but this is very difficult as she get down right hysterical – loud barking, growling, aggressive pulling, teeth, wants to bite, we can't distract her with treats, sounds or anything. Redirection does little, just she stops barking as she does not see the other dog, but she quickly turns and continues barking.
She has no issues with other dogs, plays with them, is friendly, again regardless of size or breed, it's only with black dogs.
We are honestly a bit lost what to do. We have a black dog in our family (not our house), we can't have them meet because she started barking at him from 400m/1200ft away. There are also a few black dogs living around where we live, so it's a gamble what type the walk will be.
If anyone can help, it will be highly appreciated.
