| Sudden aggresive behavior-help I recently had to move in with my sister who has 3 cocker spaniels 2 pups that are sisters and 1 year old and 1 old lady 10..My little girl gets along with my cocker - he is 10 and the brother of my sisters older cocker - and 2 of my sisters cockers. For some reason she stalks and then attacks one of my sisters cocker pups - they are 1 but gets along with the sister and older dog. Why would she do this and how can I correct it? She has never been like this and for some reason she has zeroed in on just my sister's one pup Amber. When she does attack I reprimand her and put her in the crate for about a 1/2 hour. Has anyone else have or had this problem - Can anyone help?::::

| Hi, Welcome to YT! I would try more positive training though. Right now I think your dog might be associating attacking the pup with getting put in the cage. I don't know exactly how to fix the behavior but I know it can be done with clicker training and positive reinforcement. I know Victoria Stillwell ran an episode where dogs didn't get along. Mayb try to go rent a couple of her episodes from the local video store? Good luck! I know I wasn't much help but for now try keeping a leash and harness on your baby for the time being and distracting with treats.
