Hi all! I’m having a little bit of trouble with my 10 week old lab Pit mix. I got her when she was only 4 weeks old. We have 4 kids aged 5months, 2 years, 4 years, and 7 years. I think she has a hard time dealing with the kids. They’re rowdy and can be rough with her. We are trying to teach them how to handle her so she isn’t afraid but it’s not working. We have to separate the kids from her quite a bit.
Now that she’s older, she’s beginning to growl and hide under the couch. Anytime one of the kids or even myself go near her while she’s under there she growls and tries to attack. She also has been barking when she doesn’t get her way, almost in a rude way! If she doesn’t like something she barks. If she doesn’t want to come when called, she barks. We are looking into training sessions but they’re so expensive! Anything I can do to try and fix these issues?? Also she has become possessive of things when she takes them under the couch. I gently take them from her so she knows they aren’t hers. Also when eating she waits to eat until I tell her to. And she sits when I ask.
