I would definitely keep her separate in another room till you find out exactly what's going on with her. I've seen dogs be agressive in one home, then when moved to another, it turns to not so much of a problem, like something in the first home could be causing it, or setting her off.
And I don't mean to offend anyone, but young children can absolutely terrorize a dog, just by playing with them (not intentionally).
When I got Tink from the Humane Society, she was a hyper, hormonal but newly spayed mess. I couldn't play with her for long, as her excitement would build until she was in a total frenzy, and more than willing to bite. She came from a family with 6 kids, all under 10 years old. I was able to retrain her, and now she is very trustworthy about not biting, although it did take a few months. |
