AGRESSION

MY SHEEPDOG HAS EXIBITED SOME AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR IN THE PAST. HE IS TWO YEARS OLD AND WAS NEUTERED ONLY A FEW MONTHS AGO (BECAUSE OF AGGRESSION). I RECENTLY CAME HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL AND HE IS STRIKING OUT AT ANY AND ALL OF THE MEMBERS OF OUR FAMILY WHO COME CLOSE TO MY BED OR COUCH(I AM RECOVERING). I WILL DO ANYTHING TO KEEP THIS DOG BUT MY HUSBAND IS QUICKLY RUNNING OUT OF PATIENCE WITH A DOG THAT BITES. WHAT CAN I DO?

I am sorry you are going through this. Your dog is probably experiencing some "protective aggression" over you - after your hospitalization. I would recommend getting a consult with a Behaviorist and see if they can help out.

Where are you located? I would recommend contacting Grannie Annie of New England Old English Sheepdog Rescue (grannie.annie@neoesr.org) - she will be able to offer some advice to deal with the problem - and if all else fails and you need to remove him from your home - she'll be able to help with that too.

I'll be thinking of you! Best of Luck!

THANK YOU KRISTEN,
I HAVE SENT HIM OFF TO A BEHAVIORAL TRAINER FOR A MONTH. THIS PERSON HAS HAD SUCCESS WITH MANY BREEDS, HOPEFULLY THIS WILL WORK FOR US.
I was at a complete loss as to what to recommend in your situation! That sounds like a great decision you've made, to give everyone a chance to heal!

I hope you heal quickly and that everything works out for the best!
