Donating YT 14K Club Member | Rebel is home... but don't know what I'm going to do. Couldn't wait till tomorrow so I had my mom meet me today. He was SOOOO excited to see me and my daughter. Laid in my lap the whole way home but as soon as he stepped in the house and went to the kitchen, he went after London. I took him outside in the backyard to get him to chill a little. He immediately started marking everything outside. He's only lifted his leg once and that was months ago. Well, we went inside and he hiked his leg on my loveseat. I about DIED!!!!! I've NEVER had a male dog mark on my furniture or walls...EVER!!!! I fussed at him and told him no. He sat in my lap while I was on the computer earlier and then we went to the living room where I brushed him out and told him what a good boy he was and how pretty he was. 15 minutes later, I walk into the bedroom where my husband is and the puppies ran in there. Rebel was on the bed and immediately started growling at the pups. I tried to pet him and he growled at me. Any suggestions???? I don't know what to do.

| I have no idea. Maybe keep the puppies away from him. Give him some space. He may want to just have time alone without the munchkins running all over him. That's all I can come up with..Sorry Please let us know how he does. |

Donating YT 14K Club Member | I know...with the pups being at the age, I don't want them to pick up on the aggressiveness. So many things are learned at their age...10 weeks. I want them to stay sweet.

| How old is Rebel? I wonder if he saw some dogs hiking their legs while he was out on his adventure? Lucky never hiked his leg till he was about 10 months. I wonder if Rebel is trying to become the Alpha dog & this is his way of showing everyone who's boss?

| Aww Kim, I feel your pain Bear has started marking this week and I have his appointment to get him neutered in a week. He is 7 months old now I worried I waited too long thinking I was still safe, I have not seen him do it for a few days so I hope he has forgotten how. lol Anyways I'm sorry about Rebel, maybe let him get used to being home, maybe in a couple of days he'll be back to his sweet old normal self! Hugs |

| Acting Studdy So Early I don't how some people can keep an intact male in the house. My stud dog Seth is 3yrs but your description of Rebel sounds just like him. Seth does not tolerate puppies very well. So he is kept away from them. He can also tell a intact male from a neutered one. And Kim try to read this I think it suits your situation. " I GO CHOM NEH" LOL!

| Kimberley, So sorry for you that this all has happened. Hate to say it, but it sounds like Rebel is becoming a man, in dog terms, of course. Chase started marking at about the same age, and that's when his mean streak started showing. He's almost 8 yrs. old now. We had him neutered about a week after he started marking and he stopped doing that. As far as his disposition, though, sometimes he's very sweet & loving, and sometimes he acts like he wants to be picked up and when you reach for him he growls and nips at your hand. I think it's genetic. Nothing happened to him that should have caused this. If Chase were a large breed dog, we could not have him around, he would not be safe. Being small, when he bites, it doesn't hurt, much. I sincerely hope that I'm wrong and it's something else with Rebel. |

| I feel so bad to read this about Rebel! I can't come up with any advice, but it sounds as if he's ticked off over something. I hope and pray he'll be back to himself soon and that the problems will be behind you. Maybe you should get the dog whisperer? How did he act with your mom? Was he good there? Poor little Rebel...I hope you get this figured out! *HUGGGG*

| If this continues have you thought about a proffesional trainer? Sometimes they can help you sort it out when you have tried everything you know to do. Just a thought, I am so sorry you having to go through this. I hope you get your sweet Rebel back and soon. |

| Think like a pack animal ..like a wolf , they are territorial and not so tolerant of others not in their pack so maybe in time he will take it in as his pack then he will behave better till then i wouldnt trust em ..lol darn animals ..

| Oh Kimberly, I don't have any advice, as I don't have an intact male. I just want to say I'm so sorry to hear that Rebel isn't quite back to his normal sweet self. I hope that with time, he'll get back there
