I've posted before about my concerns around MIL & FIL's approach to their retired grey, who is lovely, but who they don't think should be treated like other dogs as they believe the breed is 'different'. I fear they are mistaking placid for well-trained.
This dog has become quite aggressive when guarding objects, and they don't think this is a problem. I have a small baby who stays with them and who they repeatedly let approach the dog and pull his ears/stand on his tail/etc. despite me asking them to respect the dog's space and not let the baby do that. How can I get them to acknowledge that maybe there's more work to be done with their dog? They refuse to acknowledge that greyhounds as a breed could ever be dangerous. Any useful links?
