Eloise asked: Ok i need some advice here.
My partner and i have 2 dogs. We’ve had dogs for years, and currently have a 24 week old Doberman and a 3 year old Springer Spaniel.
Molly (The doberman) has been housetrained perfectly from just under 12 weeks, and very well behaved, however the past week or so she has taken to using the bathroom in the house, hanging off Tobys (the Springers) tail, biting, jumping up and snappng at strangers (never been something shes been allowed to do), getting very aggresive around food, even if it is not hers, attacking our other dog if he goes too near (He is the calmest dog you would ever meet, does little more than sleep and agility once a week), barking and growling during the night… Shes just being a nightmare. I know she is a pup, and ive had 8 dogs from pups already, but this is going much too far.
She was a ‘present’ from a friend of the family, who has now left the country. What would you suggest? I have had her checked out by the vet, with a clean bill of health, and been to 3 different trainers, all of which have been stumped by her behaviour.
IF she was to be rehomed, she would be spayed first so she could not be bred from, but im just wondering if this would be the best course of action – Its placing a huge strain on my relationship, and Toby hates it now! He loved her until this all started.
She has not had anything at all changed, no different foods, no change of routine, nothing at all.
Yes Toby is neutered, and Molly is booked in for the end of next week.
She is my 3rd Doberman, and i’ve had them all from pups, so i knew what i was taking on.
She is crate trained, even knowing what Bed Time means and going in herself. She gets all the attention she could ever want, Toby even went to stay with a friend for a week to see if it was him that was the problem, but this made things worse
