 aggressiveness
My Yorkie is about to turn 1 soon and recently she has been getting really aggressive! It has now turned from nonstop barking to biting strangers. She used to go right up to them and bark at their feet, but now she jumps and bites at their leg. I don't know what to do! I tried putting her in time out by herself but as soon as she comes out she attacks again. I've said "no!" many times but it wont help. I even tried smacking her with a newspaper on her bum but she doesn't even notice. Even if the person is at my house for hours... I would think that my dog would get used to it because she calms down, but as soon as the person gets close, she attacks again! One time I told my friend to bring his husky mix dog over so she can be more socialized and I don't know what happened but after she smelled her, they both started fighting and the husky bit her on her neck! I was so scared.. now I never want to let her near another dog again! I don't know what to do. I was thinking of putting her in a training class but I don't know if there is one specifically for aggressive behavior.. only ones for like learning how to sit...etc...
My dog is super nice in person and playful, how do I get her to act this way when strangers come? |
