Keep this dog away from kids if you think she will bite! I suggest you see a behaviorist immediately. Barking incessently at visitors that you approve of, is a sign that your dog is out of control. Continuing to bark at children is a sign that there might be something wrong with her socialisation. She's probably defending her possetions (you, the house, your family). That may seem cute, but it's dangerous for you and the for your darling. Tell your vet about this behavior and ask for a good behaviorist.
Just introducing her to this one girl will not solve your problem, if it's true that she does this kind of thing normally. You should train her to accept children incrimentally. Just today I was doing work with Chewy for the same reason...he scared a little boy by running up to him and barking. So now every day I take him closer and closer to this playground and make him focus on me while we do sit / stay / walk on a loose lead, for bits of hot dog.
Still, if you dog is serious in her threats, then you definately need to see a behaviorist. |
