Talking about problems. i've a 2 year old golden, whose a GOOD dog. Even if she's an attention whore. She's starting to get aggressive issues and i'm not too sure what to do about em. I think its because her main "job" is to protect the house. God help anyone who walked into my house uninvited or was in the neighbors yard, or was in my court.. or came out of their house. Never bit anyone, but literally scared the daylights out of em. Had a UPS guy cornered on my neighbors driveway (lol very funny) Sweet dog and once i tell her some ones "ok" she is all tail wagging and their best friend. I think her "protective" thing is becoming an aggression issue. I knew i had to start keeping an eye on her when a neighborhood dog appeared on my drive way startling me and i ended up having to pull my dog off its throat. That and a few other incidents and granted she was "protecting" but i knew it would carry over to us. The wee one plays with the dog, the dog gets tired, the dog gets grouchy. Had to stick her outside last night for 2 hours cos her groutchiness had her teeth coming in contact with my wee ones forhead. No harm done, but not acceptable. ::sigh:: Other then keep an eye on the two of them i'm not sure what to do. She's a good dog, but i swear if she harms my wee one - i'm liable to become a lion and destroy the threat. No matter how much i keep on top, i end up missing something. I try and limit the aggressive behavior. She's not allowed to chase down ppl out front, not allowed to chase the cats.. not allowed to growl at ppl through the window..... i dunno what to do about her - but it seems like eventually we wont be able to keep her. Cats are cats and the only thing i can train them to do is follow me while i take a walk. The dog listens to me, obeys me..... gots to be something. any advice? Cesar Milan ~poe
