I scold her and tell her no then she cowers but so far she hasn't stopped. She acts like she enjoys having the 'bluff' on him.
He always rund from her and screams and I cannot convince him to ignore her when walking by.
I am raising him so we have to all coexist. Any ideas???
I am crazy about her but I have to teach her to be nice!
Thanks in advance,

We have had our Toby for 3 months. He is 20 months old and we are his third owner. He has been showing random aggression since the second day we had him. Last night we went to meet with a behaviorist to talk about what is going on.
When she entered the room she ignored Toby and with her back to us, she spoke to us and eventually turned and sat down a leash length away, and proceeded to throw treats on the floor, until Toby approached her. She said what was happening was that we were pushing the socialization. The dog is growling, and that is his way of signalling that he does not want to be approached. Barking is next, and nipping comes third. Everything in your pups life is new. He is not yet comfortable in his surroundings. What is her background? Is she a rescue?
