Hi, our normally very tolerant and sweet natured beagle has started growling and snapping at our very active 2 year old. This morning we think she might have given her a nip after DD disturbed her when sleeping.
Some context:
The dog only snaps at her (not me or DH) and is generally very mild mannered; the dog is 3.5 yo; DD is obsessed with the dog and they will often chase each other in the garden; we also have a 3 mo baby so difficult sometimes to separate them as I am busy with the baby.
I'm concerned and want to take measures before we go down the route of rehoming the dog (really don't want to do this as she's a beloved family pet), but of course worried about welfare of toddler (and dog!!).
Your suggestions and advice (or any links / organisations that could provide advice) would be very warmly welcomed.
Thanks all very much.
