Reactivity to Female and Resource Guarding
by Sue
(Kitchener)
We adopted a Great Pyr in September. She was nearly 2 years old and had spent most of her life chained to a tractor in a shed. She was fostered for about a month with another dog (male, not Pyr) and there was food aggression but no other concerning behaviour. We have a Leonberger (female) who is just over a year old. Angel (the Pyr) has been getting more and more aggressive. She has gone for our Leo a few times which is distressing but we have been able to manage it. In the last two weeks she has started growling at my kids if they come near her when she thinks she's guarding something. This morning she growled at me because she thought she was guarding a Christmas present. Obviously we can't let this behaviour continue but aren't sure how to deal with it. She is a wonderful dog the rest of the time. Affectionate, playful and a great companion. I guess we need a professional to get involved but I wondered if anyone here had any advice in the short-term. Many thanks. Sue
