Layla felt that she was alpha and needed to protect me and would "attack" (growling, snapping) other dogs (not all, but some) we had to work on our alpha issues and now she only snaps at dogs if they piss her off (ie. my aunt's puppy who didn't get the hint that Layla had enough!) and the behaviourist said that type of snapping is allowed, she is little and has no other way to defend herself. If you want help with alpha, pm.. i'd be HAPPY to help.. i was in tears too.. thinking.. this ISN"T MY DOG! Layla is so sweet but we got through it and she is SO much better. Hang in there bella. |
thank you so much Marci, you're very sweet, always trying to help
I think you're right, and he is trying to protect us. Silly boy, how is he going to protect us with all his 5 lbs???
I'll pm you for sure!
