Its getting ugly though. For example if someone comes to the door and the pups bark it gets them worked up and usually ends up in a fight on the way to the door. My stomach is in a constant knot. They dont act aggresive at all to the pups which are 7 months old but just to each other. When they go at each other its hard to seperate them and blood is usually involved which scraes me. I am thinking I shouls sell my girl pups just in case the adults decide to become aggressive with them when they get older. I am having such a time with this, I feel like a big cry baby. I cry just thinking about placing them but know that something had to change. I love the pups so much but think I owe it to them to have a secure homw where they wont have to go through this possibly later. Any suggestions anyone??? I am in such a loss of what to even think anymore  |
The part you wrote about when someone comes to the door really hits home with me. This started happening just recently in my home with my male and female. I think it is that Bella is a little ^%&$ and wants to get to the door first so she will get a little ugly with poor little Louie. It has never gotten to a "real" fight yet, but Bella makes this horrible mean growl sound and kinda nips at his face.....as if to say, " Im getting there first buddy"! Im going to try working on this with some possitive reinforcement somehow, I'll let you know how it goes....in the meantime, I wish you the best and hope that all works out for you.
