| Re: protective instincts?
I think personality has a lot to do with it... Tavi will happily eat anyone that she considers a threat and this is dangerous and like a loaded gun and we are working with meds and vet and socialization to help this... tucker, on the other hand... greets people happily... but did stop an intruder with a bite and hold... having never even growled at anyone before.
If you want a stable dog, then socialization is key to build confidence. if she only ever sees you or family, what you're asking for is a fear agression bite. she needs training with someone that is qualified and if she's had no socialization, then start now... with someone knowledgable. |
