Hello everyone,
Thank you for the replies and support. To answer Jacks Mom
her breeder is actually very good. The father of the litter comes from one Spain's best fila lines and the mother is one of the top protection dogs in the US.
She's not badly bred she just has an extremely alpha personality. I've dealt with man an alpha dog in the past but it was before I had children.
The breeder is also a dog trainer and a behaviorist (I'm aware they are two different things.) and she gave me some tips on how to solve this. We're going to nip this in the bud quickly before it escalates.
I really like the idea of having the girls feed her handfuls of kibble instead of having them just lay the food down. I'm also going to keep her on a leash while in the house so I can do an immediate correction if she displays unacceptable behavior.
Puppies can be such a pain sometimes!
Kes.
