My wifes dog (cocker spaniel) is afraid of me. We have 3 dogs and I admit I am stern with all of them, but the other two are excellent with it. her dog won't listen to me, pees when I get close, and nips at me and has even attacked my hand before. He just hit a year old when this started to happen. I can't stop being stern, because I am afraid my other dogs will try to take over (they are both breeds that require an alpha or they see themselves as such). Also, the cocker gets aggressive when all the dogs play together and has drawn blood from one of the others (he is fine, just a little nip) and it concerns me. My wife and I are trying to have a baby as well, and I am very concerned about her dog and a new baby. She 'babies' her dog and I am afraid of jealousy issues.
I grew up around dogs, and have dealt with a biting dog. We had to get rid of him, just wouldn't stop no matter what we tried. (we gave him to my aunt, and even to his last days he tried to bite me)
Any answers?
