Sorry, but I think when a dog exhibits uncommon behavior for them, something must be wrong. If a dog is normally testy, and aggressive, the human should reach for the newspaper to look for a trainer. |
It depends on what you as an owner are ok with. I personally am ok with my testy aggressive girl but 9 years in and I understand what sets her off so we manage. This new baby i have is strange to me she send me no info at all about her likes or dislikes and it a massive learning curve... my old girl you totally know where you stand all the time. aggression is nothing at all to be afraid of it is just info and ised right nothing bad needs to happen.
Love the newpaper comment of yours or if you do not reach for it to call a trainer at least use it on onesself for not getting a trainer ..
