I am afraid to post this because I am afraid I will get hammered, but I must. I know I may get hammered for posting this, but my new baby the Pommie Bijou has apparently taken over the house in less than 4 days. He went from howling last night to this, I guess the howling is not being frightened but the alfa demanding his attention which we gave him.
Today he bit me, I am lucky I had the fleece top on or I would be bleeding, he rushed at Bandit two times and for no reason. Just a minute ago he did it again, he went to chew my slipper and I told him no and tried to take it and he rushed aggressively at me. I am shocked. I am actually afraid of him.
His registered name is Devil's Rock. Now I am seeing that the guy was not joking when he said he was a devil.
Please dont chasticize me for this but I need help. He went from confused dog in a new home to extremely aggressive and obviously has assumed Alfa role, he is only 5.2 months for heavens sake, but has a big bad dog attitude, and I am scared of him. I take him up and firmly say no, but that does nothing. i dont want him to end up being afraid of me, but i cant have this behavior and I dont know how to make it go away. Poor little bandit is actually afraid of him and approaches him with his tail down and ears back, bandit was a very confident little boy, now look what has happened in just some days.
I cant have this dog take lead, especially ifhe is showing biting aggression, and it is NOT mouthing or playing. It is down right rushing with an adult tone of growl in his voice.
So this sweet little fur ball is really a very aggressive dog under the fur. I just wrote the man to ask if he ever bit anybody or if he was ever socialized. |
