really upset.. I dont want to get rid of my puppy.. but he just take a turn toward aggressive. . I just need advice.. I dont want him to harm baby Elliott. hes amazing toward kids. I have taken him to instructors and they turn me away hes to hyper they claim.. any advice
good luck honey it is a hard choice to make. just don't ignore what your intuition is telling you. that nagging feeling is there for a reason. I am not trying to be negative I have just learned 2 lessons the hard way from ignoring mine and the outcome was life changing and irreversible. you might also do some research on his breed and dig into the traits associated with the breed. it could be he is mirroring you too if you are having a rough time and are being cranky maybe he is picking up on it? I'm just trying to give you some other angles to look at. I do agree with the others that said look into another trainer. a second opinion never hurts. 😊 good luck!
@kidtyme, I just wanted BabyElliot to grow up with a dog but he just changed.. im not sure how I feel about his new behavior. he knows im not afraid of him I own him not the other way around yet still snaps at me.. I have to really explain it to my husband an figure out what we are going to fo
he probably also senses your fear and anxiety. if you have any doubts them it would be a good idea to finding him a wonderful new home. and I agree with everyone dogs do change when you get prego. my 3 follow me around all day. if I sit down no one can get to me without going through a mountain of dogs. 2 of mine are huge and one is medium. but I have had no problems with aggression towards me or any of my family. they have just gotten more protective of our territory.
@kksykes1616, yeah and he cant get it.. I take him for a walk all the time. hes cooped up in a town home I just think its unfair for him and me being scared he will snap and bite me again..
I'm sure it's the pregnancy those are such good dogs but they need lots of exercise
he is a mutt aussie shepherd and collie mix with husky hes really a sweet heart but just not toward me..
my older dog my mother has is like that. She's now 15. not doing so good no one could be close to me without her at my feet
What kind of dog is he? have you tried dog parks to get the energy out? with my first I had a really hyper lab so we would take her to the dog park to get some of the energy out and that really helped and then when my son was born we took some of his clothes from the hospital home before we brought baby home and let the dogs get used to his smell so they went completely turned upside down when we brought him home?? It's hard getting rid of something you consider family I'm sorry your going through this :(
My dog was great with my other 2 kids but once I got pregnant nobody could touch my fiance or I.
he been snapping at me last 2 days when id get after him. I really love him but im scared for my child. hes amazing with toddlers
@kidtyme, thank you. I just really love him but I dunno if I can handle him snapping.. he already almost bit me 2x in 2 days. .
