Hello Jane,
Thanks for your question. I would strongly disagree that you 'can't teach an old dog new tricks' - it might just take a little more patience. What actually happens with other dogs? Is she 'aggressive' both on and off the lead? What have you tried, if anything? Is she spayed, and if so, do you know when?
The Sue Clothier article on my website might suggest some reasons.
Sorry to answer your question with more questions, but to do something about this we need to try to understand what and why it is happening.
Best wishes,
Imogen
PS I put 'aggressive' in inverted comas because this is a human interpretation and might not be accurate; oh, and an 8 yr old dog is hardly 'old' in my book.
