Understanding Sparky's Behavioral Challenges

Sparky, a rescue American Pitbull Terrier, exhibits fearful behavior that has evolved into aggression over time, especially during walks in urban settings. The dog's initial shyness developed into lunging at people and jumping on them, which has been alarming for both the owner and the public. Despite multiple positive reinforcement training sessions, Sparky's behavior has not improved, leading to increased frustration and concern for potential incidents. The owner is keenly aware of Sparky's struggles and is determined to find effective strategies to manage his anxiety and aggression.
