My dog seems to really dislikle men all men except the 2 she lives with. I have had her from 8 weeks she is now 7 months she has had no bad experiences with anyone.
She barks at them and doesnt want them to touch her, but if they do her tail wags but she continues to bark. She is fine with woman and children.
Any ideas??

LOL@ Michelle

A lot of dogs are nervous of men. I think it is partly to do with the fact that most breeders are female, plus they do not see as many men cooing over them. Then there is the male hormones :rolleyes: which will make them smell more dominant, the deeper voice, which sounds more aggressive. All you can do is socialise her with as many men as possible. Stand outside a supermarket with lots of her favourite treats and a sign saying, "please fuss and feed my dog!" If this behaviour has just started it could be a sign she is about to come into season, I believe a lot of bithces go 'funny' when they reach that stage. I personally have never, and would never, have a bitch but I have got a rescue dog who at 16 months when I first got him would literally bark with fury and wet himself the second he set eyes on a man, but then he had been badly treated by men and if they were holding a walking stick or crutch he was gone! He is now 10 and loves everyone. And yes, we used the standing outside a supermarket routine!

HTH :-)

I have to ban my husband from my grooming room as nearly all dogs dislike him and yet when we had the beagle it was him she bonded with first.

Well your quite right my dog is probably got it about right..... Takes us years to work out men (if we ever do!!!) and my dog sorts them out in a few months!
She does it when she is with me, maybe she is my little protector!
No its not a season thing she has always done it from about 12 weeks!!
Were you joking about the supermarket thing?? I could always take a guitar along and maybe try and make a few bob at the same time!!!!
Whispersmum its a good job your my mate!! Your turn to make the coffee for that coment!

No it wasn't a joke, and it doesn't have to be a supermarket - anywhere where there are lots of people will do. Believe me it helps and you need to get it sorted now before she grows up anymore :-)
