intolerance of other dogs? so we posted a few weeks ago that were adding on to the family by getting a husky for papa....we got her yesterday and addy is a new dog! addy is wailing, barking, BITING, and just all around acting out! she gos to the door to be let out and she just sprints back and forth and when shes in she runs straight to her crate! she has bit the new pup and thats not the worst of it. any human, mama or papa that tries to coax her out of her crate gets biten!! she is snarling and gnashing and has already drawn blood on all 3 of us!! we tried gently introducing.....from acroos the room and it seemed fine but as soon as the pup got near her the fight was on! what do we do? addy will not come to either of us and she just stays holed up in her crate!!! WHAT DO WE DO??? will she stop all this and now that she has bitten will she bite more??? PLEASE HELP |
Is she scared of the new husky? Or maybe she feel threatened by him? Has she ever had any bad experiences with bigger dogs? That may have traumatized her.... Hopefully she will be able to accept him eventually, it may take some time... |
How old is Addy? Has she ever been around other dogs? How does she respond to other dogs? How does the huskey pup respond to Addy..is the husky trying to play with Addy and Addy not willing or scared?? Its a tough call and I dont know what to say to help on this one...hopefully someone will have some good advice for you..or contact a trainer?? Dawn |
Wow...I've never heard of a dog having a reaction like that. We've introduced lots of new dogs to our house over the years and have never had one get aggressive with the new one or us. It sounds like maybe she's afraid. Has she been around other puppies or big dogs before? |
I would try re-introducing them to each other outside. Addy is trying to protect her house and she is also scared so she is fear biting. I have never had a problem with the rescues if I put the new dog in an xpen outside and then let the gang come out and smell the new dog. Within minutes everyone is racing around the yard and I let the new one out and closely watch for any signs. After about 20 minutes of play then I let everyone in the house and it has been interesting to watch the dogs go into their pecking order and the older dogs telling the new one what they will or will not accept. Good Luck. |
she has never been wierd around big dogs its only little dogs including yorkies..... the pup is still an infant so shes not really playing shes just stumbling around trying to get her bearings. |
