The two dogs have been so close and now, unless it’s on a walk, they can’t look at one another without breaking into a fight
This was a very interesting online session. The dog is sometimes aggressive towards one of their other dogs. My online consultation took me all the way the other side of the world to Florida and to a farm with hundreds of acres. They have six dogs. Three are Great Pyrenees Read more…
The bouncy puppy, a twelve week Old English Sheepdog, is simply too much for their other dog, a little Poodle-Westie mix.
Both dogs individually are perfect for their relative ages and breeds. They are doing brilliantly with bouncy puppy Fergy and all the usual puppy things.
