We were just on a walk at the park ( Which the other two goldens get to run around free and she doesn't because even when we let the leash go behind her she does not listen or respond to her name and there for doesnt deserve it..) and an adorable rescue lab came across us and we had to pick her up! She was so mad that the other two got to the dog before her and she just started barking and crying and then when the dog came to say hello (while she was still up) she snarled at him!
I love her to death and I will never ever give a dog away in my life. But she makes me wish sometimes she was a golden! I don't know how or if it's even possible to make her a laid back dog that I can trust will listen to me and wont snap on any animal or child, especially when another animal snaps at her. I don't trust her, and I guess she doesnt trust me. Im going to go talk to my vet today and see what they recommend we do because I have never read a success story with all these issues. We wanted to get a golden once we moved out so she wouldn't be lonely and now im starting to think we wont be able to have any other animals while we have her... let alone my fear of when we have children...  Anybody wanna tackle that comment? |
