SUPER possessive Ok, I have a problem. My sweet angel has a mean streak. I had NO idea until this weekend when we were keeping a fellow yt members 2 adult dogs. Maggie was just not nice, at all!!! every time they would come near me, near the water bowl, near any of her toys, near anything that she thought was "hers", she would run up and snap at them. It got to the point that they were scared of her!!! it was so sad.
Maggie has 2 fur-siblings so it's no t like she is used to being the only one in the house! and we have kept these dogs before and maggie had a BLAST playing with them the whole time. but this time, she was just mean. I was so embarrassed, their mom came to get them and wanted to give maggie a treat. as soon as she grabbed for the bag of goodies that she had with her, one of her dogs went near it and maggie came running up and snapped at her dog!! so i told her maggie could not have the treat and i put maggie in my bedroom. I have scolded her, put her on her back, etc. but she just continues to do it.
any advice????? I do plan on having other dogs in the future so she needs to get over this!! she is 11 months old (well, she will be on the 5th of Sept)
thanks in advance!
