I am teaching her no each time she growls and having him come to us and speak softly to her and rub her tummy and she lets him do this while I'm sitting with her. |
Ah.... The truth comes out
Somehow she has a fear of him .... I'm wondering if it's with all children or just him?
But like Tjdmom said have your grandson come into a room
Tell your grandson what you're doing ... kids like being involved in training
give him a treat your dog loves and tell your grandson to hold it in his hand until you tell him to let it go
At first your dog might bark ... but soon she;ll smell the treat
it might take a while but have your grandson stay in the same place untill she comes to him
when she does .... have him give it to her
and tell her what a good girl she is
do this a few times
and if your grandson is around at mealtimes have him feed her
she'll soon get the idea that having him around means good things
