Keisha has shown this behaviour too, she is 1 1/2 yrs old, we have an older dog and she gets very aggressive when she has a bone and Mandy is any where near her, but she has also shown this behaviour when grooming and nail trimming. I don't put up with it I look her in the eyes and tell her no!!! and put her in the back room for a time out, and try again her ears are usually down and no eye contact, I try again grooming and she tolerates it, though I go for short time and give her a treat for being good.
She has growled at the vet too, I told her no and she stopped. But I could see it being a problem if you don't show her who's boss. |
