Well it's happening again. Almost a couple times a day now.
She's really attacking Bentley over and over again. I'm at a loss. We're going to the vets in the next couple days to do blood work and rule out a health related problem first. After that we're working towards behavior modification and training. I'm so worried that despite all my efforts I'll loose her. I can't bear the thought of giving her to anyone else even though sometimes I wonder if he's just not happy with another dog in the home. She's struggling with anxiety, she has no confidence. I want to try and do more special things with her like agility tunnels (she loves them) to help boost her confidence. But what if it's never enough and no matter what she'll always randomly attack Bentley. Is that fair to him? A lifetime of getting bitten and beaten by her? And what if it turns to my son when he comes. One time of her attacking him and I'd have to do something else with her. I couldn't just let her be in my home if she's aggressive towards my baby.
You guys know me, you know how much this is hurting. I'm so scared to loose my baby girl. I'm going to do everything I can for her. Starting with the vet and moving towards long walks to keep her energy levels down and agility tunnels for confidence and fun. I praise her all the time for calm behavior around Bentley. I treat her and love on her when she's near him and nice. When she attacks it's getting to where she doesn't even hear me telling her to stop. She has to be pulled off him or the fight will never seem to end. He's screaming and yelping and she's just biting at his face all over him. It's a furious mess.
I just needed to vent. I'm nearly in tears. I can't think about loosing her without feeling so bad inside. I hope my stress eases up before I cause her more stress.
HELP ME IF YOU CAN, I just need support, prayers, and some advice from other aggression dog owners.
