Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Subject: Aggression in a puppy Sun Mar 10, 2013 4:52 pm | |
| Hello,
We have had our puppy for a few weeks. He is 12 almost 13 weeks old now. We've not had any issues with him really, until today and we are at a loss. We are experienced dog owners and have had a husky before (but she was a girl). But, I've never really had to deal with aggression and I am not sure what to do. I have an 8 and 2 year old and I can't risk this being a continuous problem. He and my oldest daughter were playing in our yard, he was trying to chew on a rock or stick something and my daughter tried to pull him away from it...he turned on her so fast, he looked and sounded like a badger! He bit her on her side and hand pretty bad for a puppy. We aren't even thinking of getting rid of him, we just are at a loss. I don't know if he thinks of her as another puppy or what. I know this is a jumbled post, I am just a little shaken up. If he had done that to my 2 year old...or even someone else's child it could have been really bad. Any advice is appreciated! |

| This sounds like resource guarding/ food aggression type of thing. Luckily it's still a pup so you can nip this in the but now. I'd use the search on the left and search for guarding. It's quite common for dogs to be protective of toys and to bite at people trying to take them away. It's only natural. He just needs to learn that no matter what it is he has to give it up to a human. You're not alone in this, my Cocker Spaniel was HORRIBLE able guarding, especially when it was something he knew he wasn't supposed to have (he loved socks, underwear, toilet paper, you name it). |
