help!!! super aggressive furbaby :confused: Remy is 5 months old (as of yesterday) and I have had him for a month. things were going great until 3 nights ago when he randomly turned on my boyfriend (who i live with and who has helped me so much with Remy) and started growling, barking, and even snapping:eek: at him when he comes near me...especially at bedtime! we (me and remy) usually go to bed about 30 min-1 hour before my boyfriend. this has happened for the past three nites. I usually scold him and roll him over on his back (only b/c i have seen cesar do this to aggressive dogs on tv) but nothing is working. i know that having him in the bed probably wasn't the best idea, but i am wondering what in the world to do about this. remy is fine with my boyfriend throughout the day, but at bedtime, it's like a split personality and he goes berserk. luckily my bf is beinvery patient but I know he is just as stressed about this as i am! i am wondering if he is trying to be protective or dominant...?? Any suggestions and advice would be greatly appreciated! |
The only thing I can thinkl of is have Remy stay up with your boyfriendand he brings him to bed with him. Hopefully others will have more ideas. |
Your smart to try and nip this in the bud before it get's out of hand. He is guarding what he believes to be his. You and the bed. This will not change unless you get him out of the bed, now. Place him in his own bed next to yours for about a week not allowing him on the bed at all during this time. After a week, if he stays in his bed and you really want him back in yours, make him go into his bed first then have your boyfriend pick him up and put him in yours. This tells him it is your bed and he is being invited into it. If he starts up again put him in his bed forever and don't allow him in your bed again. He's being alpha over the two of you and this can turn into a big problem down the road. It can go into food guarding and toy guarding as well. It's amazing how smart this breed is. They want what they want, some of them anyhow and you really have to stay on top of them and show them who the real boss is. I have been through this and this is what I have done to correct it. It worked like a charm. Good luck, |
thank you!! i am definetly going to try this starting tonite. he is going to be really mad at me:cry: |

i knowwwwwwwwwwww. it is proving to be harder than i thought. i think i just feel guilty b/c some days i am gone during the day so i liked him in the bed. BUT, his behavior is just not acceptable. and it really suprised me the first time he did it b/c he is normally so loving and cuddly towards my bf. he has been just as invloved as i have... who knows. either way, no more sleeping in the bed for remy;) |
Hmmm just wanted to share..my little man does not like anyone accidentaly or non-accidentaly leaning/sitting on his feet when he is lying down on the couch or bed. He will snap if we do. He was already like that since he was a pup. I think it is uncomfortable for him and that is why he was never in our bed coz can't guarantee that we won't accidentaly sleep on his little feet at night. Just watch closely that maybe your pup is uncomfortable with something since you mentioned it was a random thing. |
