I hope it works out for you. Just so you know, the newspaper does not work. It just makes them more aggressive. My little Tia came to us at almost a year and she was scolded with the newspaper and she coweres everytime she sees it. It will either make them more aggressive or just plain fearful all the time. A time out and a stern no is your best bet. Also, she may be Alpha in which case, this just may be something you'll have. Bella is alpha and I saw this at an early age. Whenever, she would get nasty and growl (this was at 9 weeks of age) I would roll her over on her back and hold her there until she settled down. It helped considerably, BUT she still has her nastiness, especially at 6pm when things are winding down and she wants to be left alone. We call her bitchy Bella. LOL. Again hope it works out. She is still young and can be changed somewhat but remember part her disposition is who she is. Elaine |
