Good questions
Before you begin.
Where should I walk meanwhile?
Choose quiet times and wide spaces, and cross the street early. Avoiding triggers while you learn is not failure.
Is my dog aggressive?
Only a qualified person who has seen your dog can say. Describe the behavior to a trainer and your veterinarian in detail.
Should I use a muzzle?
Some trainers suggest one as a safety tool. Ask about training a dog to accept it happily.
How will I know it is working?
Look for shorter reactions, more distance before a reaction and faster recovery. A trainer can help you track it.
