| Baby Boy lifting his leg and snapping Well, I believe my baby, who just turned 4 years old, is going crazy! From what I am reading, I guess he has reached maturity. I have two fixed girls (8 & 7 years old). He turned 4 in February. He has recently started hiking his little leg on furniture and puppy beds. (He really can't reach the furniture because he is so small! lol) My sister came down with her dog. Her baby is younger and fixed, but about 8 lbs bigger. My baby boy, 3.5 lbs, was afraid of her and kept snapping at her. My sister only stayed the weekend. Now, my baby boy is snapping at his two sisters. Is he continuing the behavior from my sister's dog? All three of my babies roamed my house when I am at work. He now has to stay in a small room, where he will not mark. Is he marking because of my sister's dog? Why is he snapping at his sisters? Is he just reaching manhood and I need to strangle him...like I want to with all men! lol Any advice? |

| He has been for his checkup and doesn't seem to be doing it because of pain. He is snapping at his sisters because he is afraid they will take his baby (toy) and things like that. He is showing dominance. Just unsure of why now! |

| You might need to involve a trainer or behavioralist.
