When we were pulling her off him, my extremely mild mannered 7 yr old Rottie (whom Neesa has also attacked), joined in and tried to also attack Neesa. I have read Cesars books, Followed his methods, Hired a behaviorist (at $100 an hour), to no avail. It will feel like she is getting better and then WHAM ! she attacks. Sometimes I can catch the escalation and intervene before the Red Zone, but other times it is out of the blue. She came to us at 5 mths and had an attitude with the Husky from the start. I know that I have loved not wisely but too much and have humanized her. The behaviorist has me being much more strict, no couch, no bed, little overt affection unless she is calm-submissive, more walks, more socialization, crate at night..but her big problem really seems to be the Husky. She is staying with my daughter right now with her 2 large dogs and is not causing any real problems yet? I am scared to death that while I try all these methods to keep her, the day will come when I do not stop the fight in time and she will be hurt or killed. Would an electric collar on vibration help. I would never forgive myself if something happened to her. I so have another little male and the big dogs love him, groom him, etc. What is happening. PLEASE HELP! |
In my oh-so-humble opinion, I feel, she needs to be re-homed, to a one dog only, home.
She is too small to defend herself, and you need to remember, dogs are pack animals, and often, all the dogs will join in & attack one dog, and kill that dog.
I know it would be very difficult for you to give her up, but having her killed, is not something you would want.
