I am looking for some advice on this same topic! Cooper (4.5 months old) is so sweet at home. We have a Jack Russell Terrier that he LOVES and my sister has a pit/boxer who Cooper can't stop kissing. Last week we went to puppy class and I put him in a "socializing" pen with two other (smaller) dogs. He became aggressive and snapped at the other dogs. The instructor told me that he was feeling threatened and was warning the other dogs off. Fair enough.
Today we went to Pet Food Express and I was walking Cooper on his leash. A larger puppy approached, so I picked Cooper up. Well, he went NUTS. Barking and snarling. Everyone laughed. But I want to put a stop to this behavior.
Has anyone gone through the same thing? Any advice would be great!!! |
