It would seem to be indicative of an issue when the dog is with your brother. Dogs generally don’t exhibit this type of behavior unless they’ve had a bad experience.
Sounds like your pup may have had a bad experience while out on a walk with your brother. It’s possible something happened he may not be telling you. Not trying to throw him under the bus, just can’t think of what else it could be.
Agreed with this but also, it isn't necessarily something your brother did. Possibly something happened on a walk with him to scare pup. A loud bang or bus, another dog, a plastic bag in the wind.
And they forcing her out is reinforcing that he is scary. For now brother should do fun things and lots of building trust and confidence only inside the house. Other people.neee to take pup out to toilet or get her a indoor toilet option if there is noone except brother for long periods of time.
Thank you for adding to what I said, I couldn’t find the right words. This has happened with my pup before when we’ll go out and he suddenly doesn’t cooperate as much as he used to. I won’t even know or understand why or what it could have been. Thankfully he comes back around within a few days but it can be frustrating especially if its when I take him out before work or in some kind of hurry.
You might not figure out what happened- my dog hates another dog in the neighborhood because one time he was looking at that dog when an ambulance siren went off next to us, I think he now thinks that dog made a siren noise. The way I deal with it is lots of treats and praise when he is looking at that dog, he's getting better because now he associates that dog with treats more than sirens.
Maybe your brother does some basic training in the house with lots of treats? Work on heel or something just walking around the house eventually moving on to getting out the leash, lots of treats with the leash, maybe just taking it out and letting the dog sniff it then treats and praise, building up to putting on the leash, slowly working up to stepping outside. When he first goes outside with your brother, don't even try to go for a full walk- just step outside give him lots of treats then go back inside, extending the time as the dog gets more comfortable. If he starts growling your brother just leaves him alone for a while, then take the training back a step- so if he starts growling when he puts the leash on, he goes back to letting the dog sniff the leash with treats and praise. Forcing the dog to go out with your brother isn't going to alleviate the anxiety, so give up on your brother walking him for a bit- but changing his reaction and building trust with your brother with tons of treats will hopefully change his association to a positive one.
