Introduction to Mocha



Mocha is a Rottweiler mix and my husband and I adopted her from a shelter in March of this year.  She is the sweetest dog with people, but has issues with other dogs.

Since we don’t know her history, it’s hard to say why, but she seems anxious whenever another dog is close by, and she manifests that by going on the offensive.  We’re trying to correct this behavior with positive reinforcement when she doesn’t focus on another dog.  Sometimes it’s hard to break her attention away though. 



I usually take her for a morning walk very early, and lots of times we don’t see other dogs.  Today we had a nice walk before breakfast.  She loves to sleep in the sunshine, so that’s what she is doing now.
