Aggressive Puppy?

[Stephanie]

Hi Everyone!!
I haven't been on in awhile, things have been kinda crazy lately. Anyway my brother got a new puppy. She is a siberian husky and her name is Takara.  She is a little over 8 weeks old now, my brother got her when she was about 6 weeks. I told him that was too young but he didn't care he wanted a puppy so bad. He rents a room from us so this puppy lives with us and he is at work today so I have been watching her. I decided to take them all out at once to go potty which they play together all the time and my dogs do really good with her, they know she is a baby. But then this morning she found their water dish and of course they are sniffing her and she went totally psycho growling at them and it wasn't even food just water and even after that she wouldn't stop growling at them. She did this to me about a week ago, she found one of their bones and really liked it so I took it from her because I was going to bring her inside with it and she totally freaked out and started growling at me. Isn't this a bad sign of agression? I have two daughters and if this puppy is going to be agressive he is not going to be able to keep her here. Since I will be watching her all week I'm wondering what I can do with her to correct this, any suggestions? Here is some pics of her.

What acute puppy ... look at that "don't mess with me look"in the eyes.

all of you may have to be very firm with the puppy to correct the aggression.  She is standing her ground and needs to learn whose ground she's standing on instead.  Discipline is hard I know...but just like you teach kids to mind you must teach dogs to mind too.

Hi Stephanie, I just sent you a personal message.

I think b/c of her age, this is not necessarily an aggression issue.  She is testing her grounds to see what you will do.  Most puppies will do this at one time or another.  It is imperative to put it to a stop and correct the behavior.  Once she learns what is and is not appropriate behavior, I don't think she will continue to do this.

I would call it "pack re-organization" with her. She may be trying to climb the Alpha Ladder with the other dogs. Nala and Tonka did this when I brought Nala home now Nala knows Tonka is the doggy boss and even tells on her.
