Anyone else have a dog that’s become aggressive toward guests since baby was born? We have a 3 year old Australian Shepherd and she’s just the sweetest thing. We got her at 9 weeks old and she’s been great. We have other (older) children, a 16 yr old who lives with us and a 9 and 10 year old who stay with us part of the summer. Since our baby was born in September, our dog will bark and growl at anyone who comes in the house and has even snapped at some of our nieces and nephews, who are 8-13 yrs old. She loves the baby and I think she is trying to protect him, but I’m nervous that when my step kids come this summer she won’t be nice to them. How do I get her to be the dog she is when she’s at home with just our family? She’s calm and fun loving and great with us. Enter “intruder” and she’s a different dog 😞

@blakeslatinmama, it’s like she can’t hear us when someone walks in. It’s the same way when she chases cars. Those are the only two things that make her go nuts. Any other time she is fully trained and listens to commands always. She’s not been socialized much but I’m nervous that she will bite someone now. I’m going to find a trainer so this doesn’t spiral out of control. She gets lots of exercise as we live on a farm so she has plenty of space to run and play. That’s probably also why she isn’t as social because there is no one but us for miles. 😒
@lnkedupmommy, she sleeps downstairs away from the bedrooms in a crate that we attached a play area to the front of it.
Australian Shepard’s are known to be extremely territorial. You for sure need to make sure you are working with her to change that because it can cause serious trouble. Try socializing her more and let her burn off lots of energy when you all are out.
@blakeslatinmama, I agree, I think you should get that in control. I have a Cane Corso hes 1year 6months and we dont have that problem hes very good with the baby and guests. Does the dog sleep with ya in the room?

There was a place all of us could bring our May babies to play with each other, so our babies could have some great friends, like we all have in this group :)))

Thank you EVERYONE for all your kind words and prayers throughout this journey, but unfortunately Ethan did not make it today. We appreciate those who have and will reach out to us, but please be understanding if we don’t get back to you, as we will be absorbing this tragedy and planning arrangements for our baby. Extra big hugs and thanks for those of you that have helped us even a little during the times we needed it most. ❤️
As we laid our precious baby boy down to sleep, our hearts ached. We still have questions and don't understand why this happened to our sweet innocent baby boy. What we do know is one thing. We are LOVED! God has surrounded us with gentle hands of comfort to help us get through such a hard time in our lives. We couldn't be anymore grateful for the friends and family we have. Baby Dakota is safe and sound in the arms of our Heavenly Father. He had a purpose so great that we can't even begin wrap...
