Caboose wants to kill my Golden Retriver?????
Submitted by cabooseandjordan on September 30, 2010 - 4:31pmHello,
I have a year and half old Male Bulldog that all of a sudden with no warning or signs wants to kill his brother.(Golden Retriever) They have been buddies since we got Caboose and now they are no longer friends. The Golden is OK with him but he definately fights back when Caboose attacks him. The only thing different is we moved from Idaho to Southern California. He was fine for the first two and half months but then one Sunday he just snapped and it has been bad ever since. We keep them seperated and they are not allowed to even see each other. I have tried sending him with my brother which that worked for 2 days after he got back but that is it. I have tried the aggressive and sof discipline and it is not working. Caboose will go to the beach and be fine with other dogs but as soon as another Golden comes along he wants to kill it. He is ok with the dark color goldens but the light ones is where the problem is. If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear from you.
Thank You,
JOrdan
I suggest you contact a trainer/behavior consultant
to help you out. This level of aggression with such a strong possibility of injury to the dogs and humans is better dealt with in person. You can find someone to help you at APDT.com.
I wish you and your dogs the very best of luck.
