Aggressive female dog


MILLER TIME

Recommended Posts

Well to start off my brother has a 3 1/2 yr. old female lab and she's pretty aggressive. When he brings her over to play with my 14mth old male lab she will play with him and kinda lovingly cuddle with him and then all of a sudden she just snaps at him. I've noticed that lately my dog is getting the hint and is standoffish when she acts this way. Within an hour of playing this situation happens at least 4-5 times with both of us yelling "NO" to stop it. I guess what I'm getting at is this, is the temperment of the female fixable, will my dog start picking up her bad habits, which I'm very concerned about! Any opinions would be appreciated.

If the dog were aggressive it fight right away.

Your young dog needs to learn when to quit. At 3 1/2 years old a dog only wants that play for so long till it gets old. He could also be getting frisky. Her snapping is telling him shes had enough. Still I'd correct her instantly and tell her NO. He can only learn how to act with other dogs by being with other dogs. I bet this will disappear once your dog settles down a bit with maturity.

Don't sweat it-normal stuff. One dog is simply telling the other dog "chill...thats enough!" Trust me, it will NOT have any long lasting impact on your dog. If they were going to fight, they'd do it and get over it. Think back, haven't you ever seen those "mob hunt" scenarios, where 17-guys hike the corn stubble with 11- assorted dogs? The dogs get over their nastiness right away and then get on with the hunting. Yell "NO!" at them if it makes you feel better, but THEY will sort it out on their own.

You're welcome. wink.gif

I wouldn't worry about it. It sounds like dogs being dogs and the whole natural pecking order thing. I have a lab and my neighbor's do as well. The neighbor's dog plays with mine and will then snap as if to say "I own you." And then they play again. I would guess she is just asserting her dominance. I have seen no change in behavior from my lab.

If her ears go back and her tail down she's REALLY mad.

Otherwise she's establishing herself as the Alpha dog.

If her tail is wagging when she's reprimanding the little one, don't worry.

Normal dog stuff.

Thanks for the information. I would have thought by now they would be getting along better. It's really wierd though since she will coax him in, lick each other and then bite his head off. she knows its wrong but keeps doing it. Is there a way to teach her from these bad habits

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
