Back in December, I rescued a 6yo dog from a shelter. Took a bit to get comfy, but what I noticed, is that Shaw (dog) started to get attached to my 14yo daughter.
It's got to the point (still is) where every time I would go downstairs (or now, even move slightly), Shaw would start barking and growling at me. I would gently affirm him 'No' and put my hand out and he would calm down.
Today, he did his protector thing and as I went to reach my hand out, he snarled, bared his teeth and hid under the bed.
I have my daughter every other week, and the weeks I don't have her, he's by my side and in good spirits.
Any questions or advice on this would be greatly appreciated!
