should i correct her

[teela and katrina]

Whenever i take my corgi for a walk, as soon as we get out of the door she starts to bark furiously at the dogs in the gardens. one dog that she does this to is a rottweiler and it goes crazy trying to get out of its garden. their gate isn't very strong and im afraid that it might get out, yet when i walk past with my aunties Bichon it doesnt seem to take any notice. What can i do to stop her from barking at this dog, or should i just leave her do it. there is only one way from my house to the trails where i walk her so i can't help but walk past their garden plzzzzzzz help.

What gardens?
!/ Go in another direction. The Rottie is stressing your Corgi.
2/ Go accross to the other side of the road if in the same direction.
3/ Use a chocker chain and when you dog is about to respond or start an argument with the Rottie, pull sharply and say a firm, loud NO. When your Corgi cooperates, praise and give little treats but only at the exact time of her holding back any retort.

Taylor has a problem with a neighbour who has a German Shepherd and a Jack Russell that NEVER get taken out - for exercising or anything else. THese dogs will tell Taylor very loudly when we walk pass their fence, "you lucky little bugger, why can't we go for a walk too!" Taylor will give a low growl in reply.
So Taylor and I usually walk past on the sidewalk on the other side of the road - most of the other people walking dogs in the area do likewise. This doesn't stop the neighbour's dogs but it takes away the stress factor from Taylor.

i cant realy cross the road because there isn't one and there is only that one lane from my house to anywhere so there is also no opposite direction. Thankyou for the rest of the advice though its working wonders already. She's starting to get it that if she is good she gets a treat and thats only after 3 walks, thankyou sooo much for the advice michael, i feel much safer now walkin Teela xxxxxxxx
