Wow, you are really dealing with one out of control little dog!
The fact that he is biting his family members is pretty disturbing
to me. I have a dachsund that has some of Zoey's tendencies
but he never attacks the family. Did she ever do anything to him
to cause this? Like tease him? Is he running after her because he
is playing with her or because he hates her? I am by no means
a doggie psychologist but I doubt that the volume of the noise
in your house has much to do with his behavior seeing he is 3.
Dogs are usually pretty adaptable to their environments. You
definitely need some recommendations for a good behavior specialist
to come into your home to evalute his behavior and to help you
come up with an immediate plan of action. I wish you luck as your
situation sounds very complicated but hopefully the love you have
for Zoey will lead you both to happier times in the days and years
ahead. |
