grabbing other dogs by the neck
Any suggestions?  |

| Maybe she's trying to show she's the alpha, therefore she's in charge? |
| Could be alpha behavior but grabbing dogs by the neck and shaking is more like a prey behavior. After the pitt bull attack on Carl any kind of prey shaking behavior like that freaks me out. It may be a little over zealous but I would say that for something like that I would consult a behaviorist or a trainer who has experience with aggressive dogs. Not saying your dog is necessarily aggressive but a behavior like that is best handled by someone with experience of what it could lead to.
Always better to be safe than sorry. |
oo, scary... not to scare you too much, but someone could sue for something like that, definetly get some professional to come and evaluate and offer advice. Maybe that Cesar guy from the Dog Whisperer - he's a miracle worker! Probably not practical, but it'd be nice  |
| You might consider a thorough vet check including thyroid screen (low thyroid can cause aggression) and then make an appointment with a professional dog trainer experienced with aggressive dogs. But one with a gentle approach. In the meantime, I would not allow her to interact with other dogs until she's been professionally assessed. |
