| New to Boards and have a puppy concern
Hello Everyone :) I just want to thank the people who made this board possible. I feel like finding this board was like finding a pot of gold.
I have a female rottweiler named Athena. She is 4 months old and seems to have some agression. I have socialized her and she is wonderful with strangers and other dogs, however if she is running and playing it is like she has soo much energy and doesn't know how to control it. She immediately goes into attack mode and biting. I will say I don't believe she is biting at her full potential which leads me to believe she is not trying to harm me. She does this more with me than my husband. She also has a problem with when she steals things (like socks) and knows she isn't supposed to when you try to make her release she snarls and snaps. I spray Binaca to make her release. She doesn't do this with her food. We just yesterday have tried the time out treatment as she is my only child and awful spoiled. Has anyone had this behavior before in a puppy? Should I feel like I might have a bad seed? I don't really feel that way I do trust her.
On a side note if anyone has a rottwieler with systemic lupus feel free to ask any questions. My last baby boy had it and I had a hard time finding support and information.
Thanks for listening :)
