HI All
Dexter is a 2 year old EB...i adopted him from someone else when he was 6 months old so from the beginning he lacked socialiazation but all was fine other than he had sooo much energy...then one day he started to attacking me in bed when i would move...he would be asleep and when i would move he would attack my feet and growl and show aggression this happened here and there and i thought maybe i had scared him so he was reacting..then it started to happen more often so i was concerned he was in pain so i took him to the vets and he was fine. It then got worse and was happening everynight...he would be OUT COLD and i would move and he would lunge at me, he bit me a few times and hurt me. I kicked him out of the bed and thought he was being territorial so i took back the bed and all seemed fine, however now the aggression is popping up in other situations and im scared of him. He is 80lbs and im barely 100, i cant control him when he does this and i get scared so i have to back down which clearly shows he wins. Last night i let him out and he got out without a leash and he wouldn't come in and started to attack me and lunged at me and tried to bite me...i finally got him in house and he would let me in the house without attacking me..it was scary and i was terrified im concerned he will hurt be badly or worse yet someone else and unfortunately he will ultimately pay for it with his life. Im terrified i will ahve to give him up to someone who can care for him better than me.
Please help i need advice....
Megan and Dexter
