Living with an Aggressive Dog: What Should I Do?

I recommend watching some episodes of Its Me or the Dog with your husband. There are some up on youtube for free. It's a show about a dog trainer who will go to people's houses, assess the situation with the family, living conditions, and dogs behavior, and make a training plan for them. It should help boost you guys' confidence in being able to train your dog. Hire a dog trainer if you're unable to train her on your own. But any dog can be trained with enough patience, knowledge, and love. Wishing the best for you!

Perhaps call the veterinarian she sees and set up a doctor's appt for her to discuss with the vet about this behavior with her? There are medications out there and methods of training to help with behavior issues and dogs. Those usually need to be done hand in hand, training and meds, not one or the other. Perhaps she deals with anxieties that she struggles with and may need some help with figuring that all out? It sounds like if the pup gets some help it will take a lot of stress off of you and your family

Oh also she follows me around CONSTANTLY. She always has to be able to see me or she’ll flip out. And I can’t so much as change how I’m sitting without her jumping up and running over to me to stare in my face. She’s super sensitive to my every move. Everything she does triggers the hell out of me.
