hi my name is joanne and me and mt husband have just adopted a 2 year old boxer dog her name is millie
we were led to belive that it was good with kids and was a brilliant dog but since we have got her home she has nipped all three of my children on the hand, my youngest child was at the time pulling and tugging at her
then we took her for a walk and she gets really aggressive towards other dogs and we have to hold on to her or she will fight with them and she doesnt like people in the street either as she will growl and bark at them as well as try to bite them,
she is fine in the house and when we introduce her to people at home but when we go out she goes crazy when she sees other dogs or humans 8O
we are her 4th owners and she is only 2 8O
the first owner was a young women and went into sheltered accomodation the second was a stupid young boy who just wanted to show off and the third was a man and his wife and they have just split up so couldn't keep her
i was wondering how i should go about trying to calm her down .should i get her a muzzle as if we dont this means we cant take her for walks :!:
