Hello there! I have a 10 year old male Jack Rusell, Marley, who has been a fantastic dog with the kids. 10 months ago we introduced a female boxer puppy, Lola, into the family. At first things went well. Individually they are both GREAT dogs. However a couple months ago the dogs started fighting at meal time. Marley shows a lot of agression towards Lola in the house, he retreats to my daughter's bedroom where we keep his kennel and stays there whenever he is in the house The dogs seem to get along fantastic...outside.
Now, Marley's aggression has spilled over to us, he has nipped at my 2 and 7 year old and he has barked and snapped at me. This is behavior he NEVER exhibited before. He has growled at me when letting him out of the kennel, he has nipped when one of the kids was trying to pet him. He refuses to mingle with the family. Does he resent us for bringing home Lola? Please help! I want my entire family both human and canine to get along!!
Thanks
Mandy
