Hey Folks, A very scary situation occurred yesterday with my female…
I gave both the boy and girl their weekly treat… The boy wasn’t as
interested due to the heat, where as the girl decided to take both treats for
herself. When I approached her to retrieve the boys treat, the teeth
came out with a fierce growl, and a small snap. I was able to secure her by the
rear of the neck, and brought her inside, all the while growling and showing
her teeth. As I was walking near the boy, she snapped at the boy, luckily
missing him. I have seen their father due this, but have never
experienced this before with my group. I understand the dominance between the
two, but going after me in totally unacceptable in my eyes. As pups and up until last week, I would always approach the
dogs, and purposely take their treats/dog food away for a second, and then
return. I thought I was reinforcing who’s boss. Any thoughts or suggestions? This is
really bothering me. Thank you, Murph -- |
