Question
I have a couple of questions. We have a five month old rottweiler/Chow cross we
have had her for about a month... She from day one has always nibbled at my 5
year old son and at first she didn't really bite hard but now she is biting a
little harder and she runs and growls at him is this ok is our puppy just trying
to play or should this be considered aggressive behavior?
One of my other questions is we just got another puppy about a week ago because
we thought that it would be nice for the other dog to have someone to play
with... We got a 2 month old malamute/ Lab cross and our other dog does the same
thing that she does to the puppy as she does to my son is this ok?
My last and final question is that our rotti has been trained for a couple weeks
now and is doing really well with her house training but now she is starting to
pee everywhere she peed on our bed and she peed on the floor is this because she
is jealous ?
If you have any suggestions for me please tell me because I would really like to
understand the dogs better and tell the difference between good and bad...
Thanks alot
Answer For the 1st questions you have one of the most aggressiveness and mean dogs there are chows are very aggressive and mean, rotts they can be aggressive but they are more protective to the people in the house. that aggresiveness is on the chow side.
The 2nd question well since you just brought the new dog into the house it will take time to get used to each other they will need time. But this is normal it is a territory thing.
The 3rd question is yes she is trying to despise you for bringing in another dog to her territory.
