Canine Aggression

[bailey0407]

hi my terrier mix puppy of 7 months has recently started being snappy with my boyfriends younger sister, i thought this was due to her being young and always wanting to play but he started turning on me. he has always been good never has he snarled of snapped at anyone especially me! why do u think this is and what can i do to stop this before it becomes more serious? please help!!!

Something happened to your dog by somebody. So best for you to be gentle and be playful with your pup and talk nicely to it. Hold it and caress it etc, eventually it will know the difference between who is mean and who is nice and comfortable etc.

good luck

You need to be this little dogs leader it is really important you dont praise his unstable behaviour.
For example when he is growling dont stroke him, I would advise you get in a dog behaviourist, they will helpyou sort him out, also more importantly dont leave him with any children.
Good Luck
