Third_ Alice the yorkie that be springer rage not cocker rage and springer rage is not what it was once thought of. It is a medical condition for the most part that is caused by the incorrect actively in the electrical system of the brain usually at night when the owners can not see it.
Fourth_never ever ever ever use anything that CM says to use on an aggressive dog ever..... It will make the situation worse. Positive based trainers do not need the drama and explosions he does to train they work in calm. stress does not teach anyone anything.
Fifth_ vet run and thyroid check and not just from the regular vet have it check by Jean Dodds as even a tiny tiny bit off can cause aggression.
Sixth_ this is to far advanced for any old trainer to handle. I suggest a behaviorist or a positive based trainer that is comfortable working aggression that will keep this girl under the thresh hold of stress to see what can be done.
Seventh_ she is aging and this could be early on set doggy dementia and it needs to be looked at.
eighth there are drug that can help but you need a vet that understands behavior.
I did not read any other posts other then the two quoted as I choice to not get sucked into the CM drama anymore. So if I have covered stuff that others have said already sorry but you need to see a vet do blood test, check eyes, hearing and if it looks like springer rage then brain actitivty as well. then find a trained professional that is postive based and aggression wise.
