Peekapoo behavior
Q: Our six year old peekapoo (gracie) is very moody. one minute she can be very loving and the next, she'll act like she wants to take your arm off. we also have a ten year old peekapoo that is very even tempered, but it's getting to the point that she's attacking him every chance she gets! he walks across the floor near her and she shows her teeth & growls, then usually tears into him! she's not just like that with the other dog either. she will be on the sofa or on a chair and when someone walks near her, she'll snarl at them. and other times she's a loving baby. this behavior changes in a moments notice. what could be wrong?
A: She could feel threatened or is asserting her dominance as it sounds like dominance aggression. you may want ot work with a veterinary behaviorist to work on behavior modification with you; also could try natural flower essences from health food store. ones to try would be holly, scleranthus and rescue remedy which can put a few drops on her mouth 3 times daily safe and nontoxic to use long term
