Would there ever be a time that I would KNOW she wouldn't bite? Please understand - I plan on keeping her safe and happy in her room away from the kids, but I'm just curious.....how does one know? I have pictures of Bridget and Bradley (the youngest grandson) playing with one of Bridgets toys...together with no aggression what so ever. So am I correct to assume that it's ME that is the problem? I feel awful - like I've painted a portrait of some sort of "mean and aggressive pup" - which is not my intention, because she really is sweet, but it's obvious I've done something to get this kind of reaction from her. As far as my fiance' goes - she just adores him any other time...he shares in every aspect of her life - feeding, walking, bathing, playing - she'll even sleep with him if he goes to bed before me. It's just this "kiss goodnight" thing that gets her going....again - not awful, but she'll stop chewing a toy to come and growl. Thank you again for your time and advise, it is very much appreciated. |
I'd really recommend having a professional behaviorist come to your home for a session. She will evaluate Bridget and and teach you how to deal with her issues.
Do you have a camera than you can tape an episode with? That would really help a trainer, too.
