This will actually have to be posted under "behavior".
My friend got ahold of me yesterday and asked if I could come get her dog...so I did, but thought it would be best to take her to a well known local rescue. Long story short the rescue wouldn't take her so we took her back to our house. She is a little hyper, but other than that a cutie! I was told she can't be around other dogs, but she got along so well with my two, that it seemed they had always known each other. I called my friend and told her she was an awesome puppy and to come get her dog...there is nothing wrong with her and I'd help her with training and things.
Well, she came over and my dogs greeted her. All of a sudden she snapped into a rage and attacked everyone!!!Â
After that anyone who came into contact with my friend she tried biting...this sweet loveable dog went crazy!
My friend isn't very assertive when it comes to disciplining her, but I'm not sure if that's the issue. I have never seen jealousy like that before. The dog is only seven months old...is this behavior correctible?
I feel badly because I judged my friend when she was trying to tell me there was someting wrong with her(little BPO confession) and she was right.
Evidentally the dog attacked her mom when she gave her(my friend) a hug. Are dogs born with these characteristic
s, or are they developed? she's retriever mix...may be chesapeke bay, or golden....and maybe pit and some kind of cattle dog(she's a runner).
