Hi Everyone,
Hoping for some advice, or reassurance at the least! We live with our 5 month old golden Bonnie (picture attached, like butter wouldnt melt) and we’ve had her since around 8 weeks old! From the beginning she’s been quite a mouthy pup, in terms of barking and biting. We’ve got the barking relatively under control but we’re not at the stage where we were expecting the mouthing to reduce slightly, ie know her boundaries and her bite. No matter what we do, tell her no, turn our back, leave the room she still bites. By ignoring her she becomes more aggressive and will lunge at us. She has drew blood on more than one occasion, not severely but cuts nonetheless and and will show her teeth, snarl all whilst her neck fur is raised. This happens when she is playing, she looses interest and will lunge at us, inside when asked to move from the sofa or when on a walk, she will suddenly stop and begin to bite, lunge and rip what she can. We are loosing the will and have went ahead and arranged a pet behaviouralist in a few days time. Does anyone else have experience of this, is this indicative of what we’re going to have in future? Any helped would be much appreciated. Many thanks!
