Hi everyone, in the last couple of months my 9 month old puppy has become very protective over me and the house. I work from home and I have to shut her in the front room when someone knocks at the door because she gets so vicious.
But today was the worst. I opened the front door to let her into the front garden and didn't realise the Postman was walking up the path. She actually tred to bite him! 3 times she tried to bite his leg. She actually had her teeth on him. I was mortified!
She's such a docile dog but when the door goes she changes. Or if shes in the garden and someone walks by she snarls and tries to get at them over the wall like a possessed beast.
I don't know what to do. I wanted a friendly dog who would greet everyone nicely.
Shes a Frenchie English Bulldog mix. Shes stubborn but obedient. We dont have any visitors to the house apart from the Postman, as friends and family live far away. Could that be the problem? That shes not had enough of this type of socialisation?
Does anyone know how I can kerb this over protective behaviour?
