| aggression issues...maybe? Hey everyone!! I had a semi-scary episode with Lexie today!! She was playing too rough with Beau so he crawled up on my lap so I could protect him. I yelled at Lexie and she didn't stop so I pushed her away from him. I thought she was just playing rough with him, but it started to look like she was TRYING to hurt him. She wouldn't stop coming at him. I grabbed her snout so she would stop biting and she showed AGGRESSION! She grabbed my hand with her nails and tried to scratch my hand away and she started growling. I actually have scratch marks in my hand right now! I was so shocked that I just pulled my hand away and stared at her! I didn't know what to do! Now she is sleeping at my feet right next to Beau like everything is okay. We are going to a canine behaviorist/trainer in 2 weeks, so that should help with her thinking she is the alpha. What should I do?!?

| I don't know!! I would have to see them in action to know if she's being super aggressive or just wants to play with him. Kalina goes after Matty just as you described, but she doesn't hurt her. Matty gives right back though and it seems as if Beau doesn't, so that could mean something. I hope you find an answer at the class you're taking. Keep us posted!

(By unstable I mean she has issues; she licks the air, in fact she licks everything, she chews up everything, she pees inside randomly, she is afraid of anyone out of my immediate family, she has a barking issue, she is afraid of dogs besides Beau, just things like that.)
