Why is my dog being aggressive?
Hi community,
I have two pitbulls. A red nose and blue nose that are super sweet. My dog sitter reported that the female red nose bit another dog smaller than her, which required emergency surgery. Both of my dogs are two years old now have only been with each other in my home without issue. The male blue nose is super chilled and relaxed, but much bigger than the female red nose.
My concern is what could set my female off when it comes to smaller dogs than her? She’s been in my care since 5-6 weeks old and given the upmost love and care. Absolutely do not tolerate aggression or violence when it comes to them or any other pet.
I’m interested in getting training for both of them, especially with the female who’s super sweet, but don’t know exactly when and why she might become irritable striking another pet. Cats, squirrels and at times shadows of something set her off not realizing shes not big and bad.
Thank you for any input you may have .
