harley is a 4 month old boxer/lab and she is recently doing a few things that concern me.
1. sometimes when i walk her in the yard to use the restroom she barks, growls and attacks the leash where it is connected to her collar or halter. She only does this on short walks in the yard. She shows perfect behavior when goning to the park or petsmart and longer walks. She really growls a lot and gets what appears to be agressive towards the leash. If I stop walking and tell her "no" she will growl at me but not nip or anything. If I take the leash out of her mouth she wont growl or bite at me at all.
2. She quite often will attack my pants leg and growl and pull on them. I know this is pretty normal puppy behavior, but lately she has been really growling and snapping at me when i tell her "no" about pulling on my pants leg.
3. she feels free to bark and growl quite loudly at me if she wants me to stop with the computer or something and play with her, i have been telling her "no" and ignoring her and it seems to work because she will bark a few more times then lay down next to my stool or chair.
I hope these are all normal behaviors but I am not sure. Thanks for any input you can give me.
