We've got two dogs. One's an older, very passive Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. The other's a younger, very feisty Silky-x-Maltese Terrier. We're having problems with the terrier. He gets excited when we have visitors, and will squeal and bark like mad, which is annoying, but a problem we can deal with. However, if someone's knocking at our front door he'll get so worked up that he'll take it out on our spaniel... latch onto his ears and just keep shaking the poo poo out of him until we separate them. The dogs usually get along fine, it's just when visitors appear that he goes mental. I'm considering trialing a bark-shock collar (he's growling as he attacks the other dog), which is not something that I've ever wanted to use, but the other dog is seriously suffering... can anyone suggest any other training strategies to curb him of doing this? I've been looking at the counterconditioning info but I'm not sure how I'd apply it.

Cool, thanks. Yeah I was unsure about the collar. I'll give the mat thing a go for a while. This terrier's actually quite lovely when he's not fired up, but he's a menace when he is. We took him to the vet for a haircut when he was only ~7-8 months old or so and they told me they never wanted to see him again.
