Hi, newbie here hope I am posting in the right place.
I have 3 dogs Delfi/dobe 1yr: Poppy/chihuahua 8mnths: Sweetpea/chi 3mnths:
My prob is Delfi, she has a very bad habit of barging/mowing down my 3yr old. I have 6 children so the dogs are very well socialised and walked on a regular basis. They are part of the family so live with us in the home. I do use a crate for training/ house training etc. Delfi is very docile normally shows no aggression to any of us. She is very well loved. However this is increasingly worrying as she could potentially cause a nast accident to my toddler. I go to training classes most weeks and she does fairly well. Recall in class is rubbish but out on walks she doesnt like to stray far. I cannot understand why she would do this. I thought dobes were very family orientated and would protect rather than harm us.
I would appreciate any advice to this problem. I would hate to have to rehome her when generally she is very well behaved. She shows (so i have read) typical dobe traits: whines and whinges if she is not with us in the same room or has been crated. which is only when we eat or floor washing etc.
Thanks for listening
