Hi everyone,
I’m posting here because, as the title says, my dog is acting aggressively towards some members of my family (my dad and my brother).
It’s been nearly a month since I adopted him, and he’s been wary of my dad and brother from the very start. At first, we thought he just didn't like men in general, but when my sister’s boyfriend visits, he’s absolutely fine and really happy to see him.
We’re getting more and more worried that he might actually bite. My dad and brother are really trying their best, giving him treats and trying to stroke him, but nothing seems to change.
When he growls and barks, we tell him off and send him to his bed, but I’m not sure if that’s the right thing to do.
We’re considering calling in a dog behaviourist, but I’d rather avoid it if possible as I’m a bit short of cash.
If anyone has any advice or suggestions, I’d be really grateful.
Thanks in advance.
