You are right about the fearful part. My Lexie is a very fearful dog. I did work with a professional trainer and he helped us tremendously (although it was VERY expensive!) The biggest thing to remember is that YOU have to be the leader- if you aren't demonstrating strong leadership, she will take over and assume that role. Lexie has come a VERY long way but every now and then, her old self will surface. You have a reason to be concerned- especially with the baby. Please don't feel guilty because it isn't always the owners fault when dogs act this way!!! What IS important is that you recognize that there is a problem, and do your best to address it. GOOD LUCK- please PM me if you need to talk furthur!!
