My dog, a young black lab mix, was introduced to my two younger cousins today.
The girl is about 16 and her younger brother is 12.
He got along fine with the girl but acted very aggressive towards the boy. He growled, barked, his fur stood on end and he was very agitated. He made no move to actually harm him in the short period that they were together but he got pretty scary.
He has never, not once, acted this way towards anyone. He's a very quiet, affectionate dog who generally just wants to play. He thinks he's a big lap dog. He's very well trained and listens to us with no problems what so ever. He's basically the perfect dog. He's never shown aggression towards any person or another dog before, stranger or otherwise. He's very well socialized.
What could have been the problem?
