Lurchergirl:) 0 Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Hello would really appreciate a bit of advice. I have 3 bitches, 2 Lurchers and a terrier. The thing is the terrier has for some reason taken a big dislike to one of the others. She started a couple of months ago and its getting worse. She has properly attacked her three times and is constantly barging and nipping her wether we, or they, are in the house, kennel, run, outside whatever. She is so strong willed as terriers are, she will not always listen to me and she is making the other bitch really nervous.. I have alternated who gets fed first and spraying her with water as well as using my voice but its driving me mad. She is fine with the other and everything used to be fine??? what you reckon Thank you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lurchergirl:) 0 Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 what ages are the dogs lurchergirl?there probaly sorting out whos top dog in the pack theres a pecking order might be that or the terrier likes to be the dominant one but your top of the pecking order foremost I have thought that was the case but its only the one and she is terrified of it, she already knows who is boss.. shouldn't the terrier have subsided by now?? i know it sounds a bit barmy but it's like it's enjoying bullying it... Have you any suggestions of ways to tackle this problem, thanks for replying atb ASBO:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ASBO 8 Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 are they like that when they are out together ? try seperate them if you can let the submissive one get its confidence back because it can put a dent in a dog when the other ones attacking it all the time ive had the same problem with dogs not so as much with bitches a few wee scuffles thats it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cold Ethyl 63 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Have you tried giving her a good hard slap?Or find something that she really doesnt like.Mine have had a few scuffles but never too nasty or constantly like you describe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
