| Buster acting weird????? Buster is 6 months old and has been an absolute pleasure - potty training has gone fine (with a few slip ups but nothing big) he gets along well with people - hes great on walking - hes well - so far so good. But for the past couple of days he has been acting weird - we will be playing and then all of a sudden he backs up and crouches in what I feel looks like "attack mode" and shows his teeth and growls. When I try to approach him he growls even louder and tries to bite me. At first I thought he was just "play" fighting? But not it seems like it's getting worse. He will jump on m bed and growl and show his teeth if anyone tries to approach the bed or touch him. And then a few minutes later he'll be my regualr sweet boy. I have no idea what's going on - nothing has changed - I dont hit him. I have tried saying in a strong voice NO! But that doesnt seem to do anything.... Any suggestions or advice would be GLADLY welcomed as I am now sporting a few "war" wounds (Scrathches) Thanks.... |

| Sounds like he's getting possessive over some things...I'd definitely consult a behaviorist and get a good trainer ASAP. He's still young and this started so it can probably be fixed pretty easily with the right help. But don't just let it continue or it will get worse
