But if he is not on my lap he will sit with my son and also play with him. My son also feeds him and takes him out to potty and gives him treats. I just don't understand Cowboy acting like this. I hoped he would get better after I had him fixed. But, I think he has gotten worse. I just watch him really close and if my son has friends over we tell them not to try and pick him up. My son has always been supervised while playing with Cowboy and told from day 1 that no teasing or being mean to Cowboy would be tolerated. So, he is very sad that Cowboy is this way towards him. Any suggestions??? |
I know I sound like the Dog Whisperer fan club but if you haven't watched his show, you should. Agression issues are always a problem of the dog not understanding his place in the pack. I posted the link above.
He needs to know he should be submissive to you, your son, and all other humans. Dog Whisperer is really big on everyone walking their dogs and leading the walk, not allowing dog to walk in front of you. Seems like that is where he always begins when rehabilitating dogs.
