China will not let another dog into the house above the age of a small puppy. She did great when Mako was brought here and she does wonderful with Duckie. We've had her around all kinds of animals outside the home, stores, other towns, etc. She's a terrific dog.
We couldn't be the new home for Maddox because she just would not let Maddox alone. She kept trying to rip his face off. We all stayed in the room for around an hour with both dogs. Duckie was running around, the kids were running around and we were all talking but the second China would get near Maddox she'd try to hurt him.
How can I get China to behave??? She is not aggressive and shows no signs other than food aggression (because Mako always stole her food until we separated them) and now this not letting other dogs her age or older into the house. I realize they're problems that can be avoided as she's a great dog outside the home. She meets other dogs in stores and in other towns. My problem is here in the house.
I want her to be a little more calm and submissive. I love that she's a protector but I don't need protecting from other dogs that I want brought into my house.
Please help! Ask any questions if I wasn't too clear. I'm all sad because I wanted to get Maddox and now I have to get another puppy (hubby really wants his male pit bull)....I guess I was just trying to skip the whole house training part lol.
