Thank you all! It is great yo be backwe have missed you lovely lot of ppl. Now, I need help. Brie is beautiful n sends hugs to you all. But...she has become aggressive toward my 9 yo. She has snapped at him several times, 1 time for trying to get his bone out for her from under the couch, another for trying to get a piece of kibble for her that fell under the couch. She growls at him she. He holds her good bowl n if he tells her to wait she goes after him. She growled at him yesterday when she was trying to climb up on me n he came over to let her. The worst was 3 days ago. He was I'm guessing annoying or teasing her by chasing her w a small remote cat. I told him to stop by the didn't right away. When he did stop, he laid down in the floor w his toy. She was across the room from him watching. She growled n ran at him, lunging n bit him on the head. We had yo take him to the ER and he needed staples to close the sound. It was very deep. Thankfully on the near n not face. So, I'm going back to square one. No privileges for her, placement training, prong collar heel, sit, stay and having Kyan do the training w her as well several times a day. He is to never be on the blood when she is free, always to let her slowly and always be above her. I'm not having him feed her again until things settle. I feel at a loss. I think she has claimed me and he has annoyed her enough over the past year that while she loves him, he is beneath her and a litter mate. He did put his hands In Her bowl when she was a puppy. But it was always me feeding her, sitting w her, petting her training her etc.no,us, I think I elevated her bu allowing her on the couch n bed w me too early? Before he had a chance yo establish himself perhaps? I funny. Any thoughts would be appreciate. The thought of giving her up is not an option for me, I must make this work. But I can't have her doing this to my son. Help please!
The trainer recommended it for her to get her in line. I'm very careful w it and it's so strange how when it is on she is under control. Like a diff dog. The plan is to use it during training and feeding w Kyan. Most of the placement training so and of course at night I use her reg collar. I'm trying to use it as little as possible, but it does help.
It makes me sad because I was hoping they would be best buds like Winston & Marcus.
@2BullyMama thank you, I'm glad to hear it's ok to use. I did learn from the trainer how to place it n use it. She does have it on more thn I'd like, when we walk to train w heel, sit, stay..when Kyan walks w her to do these things, when she is in the house on n off throughout the day but never unattended etc. II do hope it isn't forever, cos that would be no where near ideal
