| looking for advice! Sasha has been home with me for almost a month now, and things were going really well with her and my family until recently...she's started snapping at my other dogs and at my 2 year old son. She really only does it when she's on my lap or by herself on the couch and someone approaches. This behavior is obviously unacceptable, and a dominance claiming type thing, but I'm not entirely sure how to handle it. What I've been doing is gently forcing her off me when she does it and sternly telling her NO. She then wants right back up. I know I want to nip it in the bud now before it turns into a huge problem. Another thing; she was fine with my DH for the first week, never even acknowledged him really, but now all the sudden she's nervous when he's home. Follow's me even more closely than usual, keeping an eye on his every move, or goes into the bedroom to lay down. He didn't scold her or scare her in any way so it's just strange. Any advice for me?

| Oh and she's extremely possessive of my 5 month old son. My DH went to kiss him goodnight just now and she snapped at DH's face!
