The fact that she feels protective over our whole family is not a bad trait. When anyone new comes around she lets me decide if they are "safe" and then she has no problem happily greeting them. If she was dominant she would bite anyone coming through our front door. Continue to feel anyway you want, but if you want to educate people about the breed, try not to come across as an over bearing, know it all. Maybe then more people would heed your advice. |
You need to stop being defensive and listen to the advice that's been given. Your situation is an accident waiting to happen. The fact that you leave your children and this dog alone makes me very uneasy. The fact that this dog SITS on your CHILDREN and you think it's cute is shocking. You must learn that it's NOT PROTECTION unless THERE IS DANGER PRESENT.
You need to read, learn and teach the dog and children. The behavior that your girl is exhibiting is unacceptable. You clearly do not know what being dominant means. Being dominant does NOT mean they will bite someone who comes through a door
