It started about 3 weeks ago and has escalated. No food or toys are involved, in fact, Sophie and Bindi ate right next to each other up until Sunday. It first started when the youngest, Malibu, would start trying to play with Bindi and Bindi wasn't in the mood to play so she would growl to try and get her to stop. That's when Sophie came over and tried to go for Bindi's neck. Then if something happened to Bindi and she let a little yelp out, Sophie would go to attack. We were successful in catching most of the attacks before Bindi was hurt. But on Saturday night, all 3 were outside waiting to come in at the door and our doorknob squeaked and I believe Sophie thought it was Bindi making the noise and latched onto her front leg. Both my husband and I were there and it took several minutes to pry Sophie's mouth off of Bindi. We separated them and on Sunday morning Bindi was so afraid she hid under my cabinet and when we let Sophie in the room, she went straight for the cabinet and pulled Bindi out and punctured her back leg. I have 3 kids (13, 11 and 4). The dogs love all of them and are not afraid and the kids do not bother the dogs. |
