I just recently had my baby in February and my 8 year old Golden/Aussie Mix has been somewhat disinterested in the baby. Even when the baby is fussy or screaming there isn’t much of a reaction from the dog.
However when my husband leaves for work (he’s gone for two weeks at a time) the dog starts growling and trying to show teeth towards the baby.
Today he came over to snap at my baby’s hand when he was just laying here not crying just moving around.
I thought he was coming to lay in front of us since there was no growling or any sign of aggression from him. I kicked him away in time before he could make contact.
I’m scared to death since my dog is 110+ pounds and very quick. He has bitten my niece before years ago but we were rough housing and she screamed which I think is what triggered him.
He’s shown aggression towards strangers and other dogs before which is why we were an only one dog household and put him up when company comes over.
What are my options? What do I do?
