Why is my dog suddenly aggressive, lunging at strangers on walks?

Question

Ruby has started to show aggressive behaviors within the last two-to-three months, like lunging at perfect strangers (who are minding their business as we walk down the street). Why might this be happening? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | spayed | 2 years old | 60 lbs

Sounds like she is becoming overprotective of you. You really need to stop this behavior ASAP. It is best if you work with a a professional, in-home dog trainer. I like the company Bark Busters. I suggest you contact them for a consult. ( https://www.barkbusters.com/dog-training-queens )
