| Two questions: teething and evening snark! Hi all, I was hoping you could help me with two questions that might be related. Ginger is almost 5 months old, and while we are still working on potty issues (I went back to working a month ago) her behavior was wonderful until a few weeks ago. She recently lost three teeth, and is now incredible mean whenever she is approached by my daughter. The second issue (perhaps related to teething): in the evenings this little one is startled incredibly easily. If the other dog moves, or someone gets up, or even if she moves and sees her reflection in the window she completely freaks out? So- is this normal and I should wait it out? Or is this a behavior thing I need to address? Thanks for any help you might have! |

| Growling, snarling- on occasion she will snap as if she is going to bite (although doesn’t actually bite). These are unusual behaviors for her. |

| It sounds like she may have had a scare. Playing like "I'm going to get you..." can scare a tiny puppy since we look likes giants to them. The aggressive snarling, growling could be that her mouth is sensitive since she's teething and maybe your daughter's touch is too much for her so Ginger doesn't want her near. Maybe someone who has had more experience with sort of acting-out can help. I don't have children in the house anymore so I can't recommend what to do in this instance. I hope I have helped a little tho. |
