Hi all,
I’m desperate for help and advice. We have a 6 month old cockerpoo and she keeps being aggressive to our 7 year old. She said never like it with anyone else, unless she has a treat which sometimes she will growl if you touch her (I know this is resource guarding). However, she seems to have taken offence against our 7 year old ds! He’s so gentle with her and absolutely adores her but sometimes if he strokes her, she will go for him. Not in a playful way or a puppy learning it’s biting inhibition, she really snaps after him. He knows how to behave around dogs and doesn’t bother her when she’s eating or sleeping, he’s never noisy or rough so I honestly don’t know why she seems to single him out (she’s fine with our other ds and all other people in general it’s just ds2). Ds2 has quite good reaction so manages to move away quick enough at the minute but I’m absolutely terrified that she’s going to cause some real damage one day! My anxiety is suffering with it, I’m so upset and I just don’t know what to do. Please help.
