I'm at my wits end! Lexie's aggression is getting to be a problem. I never noticed it until today. We have been bringing her on walks with Beau and my boyfriend's Border Collie Scout. Well, she used to be afraid of Scout, but today it was different...I'll start from the beginning.
A few days ago Lexie and Beau were playing, and she got rough with Beau and he yelped. So I grabbed her snout (and held it together) and told her "NO BITE!" and she started growling AT ME!
So I yelled no when she started growling and I tapped her snout (VERY lightly!!) and she BITE ME! It wasn't hard and I think she was as shocked as I was! Now all of a sudden she has started biting when she plays with me...
If you talk to her, she will jump in the air and she will bite your FACE! She only does it to me and Ryan (my bf). Then today...she bite Beau so hard that he yelped and ran into my arms again! Then it was time to go on our walk. I hooked her and Beau up to their coupler and walked over to where Ryan's car was parked. The minute Scout jumped out of the car, Lexie started barking like NUTS!!! She was jumping up and down on her back feet and growling. I tried to make she stop by pulling back on the leash and yelling no, I tried picking her up, everything. Then we were walking and everything seemed to be fine and out of nowhere Lexie ran over to Scout and started to ATTACK him!! He was very scared!!! He ran behind me and I had to pull her off of him! If it was the other way around, Lexie would have been dead. It was that serious. She would nip at him every time he came close.
She is aggressive towards ALL dogs that aren't Beau! She will bark aggressively and lung towards them until I DRAG her down the street. If someone walks by us, with or without a dog she barks like NUTS!! People will stop and ask if they can pet my dogs and Beau LOVES the attention!! But Lexie will pull away and cower. She acts all shy and I'm scared that she will someday become aggressive. When she is at my house, she will growl at people when they come in my house and she'll hid in the corner.
She also will run away from you if you call her name. Then if you go to get her, she will run away from you. I don't know what to do...
It is very frustrating for me and I've very concerned. We are going to an obedience class next Thursday and we had to sign a waiver saying we were at fault for what our dogs do, so now I'm worried she might hurt another of the dogs there....
Can aggression be fixed? I don't know what to do!!!
