Nike has been attacking my older dog around food. Normally, they get along great and we *don't* feed them near one another.
Sometimes it's impossible to predict when she'll get guardy. Tonight, for example, I was making pizza and I gave my daughter a bit of the dough to play with.. Nike was sitting at her feet waiting for droppage. Luna walked nearby (not too close) and Nike went after her. My husband had to break them up.
There is never any damage done.. perhaps it looks worse than it is and I know dogs can have spats at times (esp bitches) but lately, it's happening alot and it's really upsetting me. Sometimes you can see it coming and it's easy to correct but sometimes (like tonight) It happens so fast.
I gotta say, it's difficult enough being a first time dobe owner.. we got one with issues. Great luck, we have.
