Well my female American Bullldog/ Border Collie mix has severe aggression towards other dogs and people sometimes. She was fine as a puppy but once she was about a year she got really aggressive.

She started attacking other dogs at the dog run. She’d be fine until a bone or ball came out and then she’d fight the other dogs to get the item even if it wasnt hers. Or if I had her at the dog run and another dog came by me she’d stop whatever she was doing and charge at the dog and attack it. Needless to say I stopped taking her to the dog run.

My vet said that I should try getting another dog because she seemed to be fine with puppies. So the vet said if I got another dog that she’d be able to grow with it and get used to being with other dogs.

She was fine with the puppy at first but she started attacking him anytime he’d go near her food, any bones, any toys, or if he’d try to go near me. We started seperatin them because I can’t train him when she is always attacking him when I’m trying to work with him. That seemed to work well. I kept them seperated unless there was no food, toys, or bones anywhere. And I wouldn’t pay individual attention to either one in particular.

Now the last 3 days she’s been attacking him for no reason. She’ll just charge him and attack him out of the blue. And when I’m saying she’s "attacking" I mean drawing blood even when the puppy is laying on his back giving up. And she just keeps going at him. I pull her away and she’ll charge at him. I keep having to take the puppy to the vet because so far shes bit open his face and it formed an absess, she bit a chunk out of the tip of his ear, tore up his leg, and bit open his lip. I try to pull them apart before any damage but she doesn’t let go and keeps attacking.

She’s ussually good with people during walks unless someone gets within 3 feet of me, then stands between me and the person and growls. I don’t know if she’d actually attack because most people stop approaching at this point.

She means sooo much to me and the thought of putting her to sleep isn’t an option. I was planning on just keeping her and the puppy seperated almost all the time until he’s full grown because he’ll be very large and the vet said that should help.

The problem now though, besides everything I listed is the fact that I found out a little over a month that we’re having a baby. And I’m afraid that she’ll be jealous of the baby and attack it if it touches any of the dog stuff. I’ve never seem her around young kids so I don’t know how she’d react. She was fine with my younger siblings but they were 11 and 12 so they weren’t very young.

Is she hopeless? She saved my life and was the only thing that got me through my boyfriends suicide in 2007 and I can’t just get rid of her or out her down. Please help and no mean comments please I really just want serious answers.
She went through multiple obedience classes and has never done anything to me. I can touch her toys, take food out of her mouth without any problems. I’m actually the only one she listens to. And she’s been with me 24/7 since I got her and is very submissive towards me. Anytime I yell at her she automatically rolls unto her back is submission. And I’ve had trainers try to work with her but they are impressed by how well trained she is and can’t figure out the problem.
She’s currently 1 1/2 years old. She was fine for the first year. I moved out into an apartment for about 4 months and she stayed with my parents for four months and I got her back 2 months ago and the aggression started. So I’m not sure what happened during those 4 months but that’s when she changed.

infosharenow.com ===== Stop Your Chewing Dog. Free dog training guide shows you how to stop your dog from chewing plus how to manage many other common dog issues. Chewing is natural, starting from puppies all the way to a dog. Dogs think that chewing is normal. However, it is not necessarily correct. If you notice that your dog has problems with chewing, you will need to correct the problem as soon as you notice it. There are some dogs that will chew anything that they can get their teeth on. That includes shoes, clothes and furniture. Of course, these are things that you would rather them keep away from. Its not a good feeling to have to keep buying replacements.

My five month old puppies are tearing up my small back yard! I take them to the dog park in the morining and a walk in the afternoon so they don’t get so bored but I don’t know what else I can do!
I do exercise them – the dog park for 30-45 minutes (they run around and around and I take them home when they get tired) and I walk them for 45 minutes in the afternoon. Again, we walk until they get tired. They get plenty of attention besides that. They are mostly in the house and have plenty of toys.

Since we got married, we’ve had TWO dogs. One was a hyperactive chow that hurt the baby (we were in a condo and she just grew too BIG, FAST). Then years later we had a cocker spaniel – sweet, but she peed EVERYWHERE. I already have 3 kids and 4 cats and don’t have time to clean dog messes off my carpet. My boys – and hubby – love dogs. I’m ok with them, as long as they’re not too big. I’m more of a cat person. I would never hurt an animal, but I don’t want to get another one and have to give it up. I want a life commitment (its life or mine, whichever is first!) – not fair to cause that stress to any of us, or an animal, again.

But we are in a house now (rental,but house nonetheless) with a FENCED YARD. My kids are older now – 4.5, 6, and 8. The cats are all indoor cats, but get along w/each other.

I’m open to hearing "you shouldn’t have a dog" – or some honest opinions about what breed would be best We are in Riverside county, and I do not want to buy one from a store (bad luck and I want a dog that *at least PARTLY trained, primarily potty trained.) I’d like one that’s young – to grow with the kids – and the more like a cat that it is, the better it will ge along with me. Fluffy lap dogs are fine, as long as the temperament is suitable. Hair is not really an issue, but I don’t want a big LOG OF A DOG, without a lot of hair. I am familiar with a TON of breed (mom trained dogs for awhile) but I never found one I couldn’t live without. All puppies are cute, so if I can get beyond needing the "aww, ain’t it cute" then maybe I can make a more ADULT choice this time around.
