Territorial dog


by: NORM on Tue, Aug 07 2007

I have, for the most part, an adorable welsh terrier. Spunky, lovable, but territorial. For some reason, he believes the couch, the bed, and the spare bedroom belongs to him. It doesn’t matter who is sitting on the couch, my wife or myself, when the other approaches, our dog will fixate on that person, and when her or myself gets close, he will growl, bark, and snap, and won’t stop, until we give him a treat.

I know that isn’t the correct way to resolve the issue, but my wife is afraid to sit down for fear of being bit. But once we are both on the couch, bed, ect ect, the dog is fine, lovable again. Any and all information on how to rid or ease the territorial situation will be helpful.

    I also have a dog that shows signs of anxiety and aggression when he is in unusual situations, when he meets people, a lot of the time. I understand that it is extremely frustrating for you! I have been dealing with this for three years and have made some progress. I would suggest taking your dog to an obedience class so that he is in a very structured environment, but also around new people and new dogs. [more..]
