Default Mean to BT's,dogs, etc
Old 09-19-2008, 07:14 PM   #1 (permalink)

My BT is the most lovable girl around (around me that is!) , she is over protective of me when I am around , we have two other BT's : Joe and Chesty Puller (he's just a pup) , Scout likes Chesty for now. She used to like Joe but will fight him till the death (if they get the chance/ believe me they had a few chances) . Joe is a lover and a has produced his share of puppies , we love Joe too !

But Scout doesnt like anyone (except me) , literally she will do anything for me! Scout has the best vision a dog could have , she sees the dogs on TV and will follow them form side to side and bark at them (and try to kill them !)

Its very hectic around here , Scout likes to show her dominance to all the other dogs (we have 2 big dogs as well (mostly outside dogs) , they are scared of of Scout and they weigh in excess of 140lbs !

Is there anything to do to change her ways and habits!

you need to make her more submissive. she thinks she's the head of the pack and trys to controle the house hold. i think that you should ask proffesional guidance. i could advise you but it's difficult without seeing the dog.

+1

Sounds like Scout thinks she is the pack leader. You have to assert yourself as the pack leader, and I agree with the above... I would bet that a few sessions with a professional and she'd be stylin'.
