new dog that growles i need help, i have a 6 month old and an 8 month old yorkie boy and a girl , i just today, got a havapoo 4 years old , she was a rescue and then rehomed, the lady i got her from ( craigs list ) only had her for 2 months, when she got her she said she was malnurishured ,had fleas very bad, she paid 125 for her, she took her to the vet got her meds for the fleas,fed her and now she if fine except she growles at eveyone, even dogs who come near her, she likes to sit on you lap ( she has to be the one who comes to you ) so that is why the lady gave her away for free. any suggestions on what i can do to stop her from growling ? |
Before trying anything , you'll have to let her adjust to your home . She is probably stressed from the change of home . |
She is most likely stressed and frightened and does not trust anyone, and the pups are annoying to her. Give her a crate that she can go into to get away from the pups. Put her back on the food that she is used to eating unhtil she adjusts. Too many changes will make her immune system weak and she will get sick. Let her get used to all the changes and the other dogs on her own time. Meanwhile just give her a safe place to go to and lots of patience and love. Right now it is enough for her to just get used to a new home. Take it One step at a time. |
First, if she is growling when someone approaches you and she is on her lap you need to put her immediately onto the floor. Do not allow this behavior or it will increase. She needs to be loved and nurtured until she feels secure in her new home. If you post more information I am sure you will get more feedback. A rescue can be a very rewarding experience. :) |
