Aggressive dog Attacking?

unicorn_gurl89 asked:


I have found myself in a little bit of a problem. My dog, Cleo, is almost 2 years old and she is an Aussie/Coyote Hybrid. This should have been a warning sign to me from the beginning, but we have never had a problem with our other dogs.

Cleo was a very timid puppy who would shy away from strangers, but as she got older she became more and more aggressive. Tonight I was playing with her and she snapped at me, this was a first, and after I scolded her and popped her nose, she turned on one of my other dogs and actually drew blood.

I have no idea what to do, I’m all ready on a fixed budget… I’m only a college student who is working my way through school. I can’t afford a dog obedience course, but I’m afraid she’s become too aggressive for that now. I also don’t want to have to put her down, and I know that that’s what I will have to do if she does get a hold of a person.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I suggest try a muzzle! work with her as much as you can but keep that muzzle on so she won’t get ahold of anyone and that would give you a good peace of mind while you train her-

    also! watch the dog whisperer, he knows his stuff!

    Buy Cesar Millans dog book for training, when ever you have some time you can train your dog.

    Muzzle.

    And contact your local humane society, they have animal behaviorists on staff quite often, or know of local trainers who can take phone calls (to make suggestions).

    Be ready to tell them if she’s food guarding or toy guarding. That could have a very big impact. And if she’s spayed–unspayed females can get hormonally charged when under 5 years of age and act out aggressively. You see it more in the husky breeds, but it’s not just limited to them.

    Euthanize before you get sued.
