hi we have a 3 yr old german shepard bitch who we got from a rescue 1.5 years ago. had a few problems with her attacking our older collie cross bitch when we first got her (she never broke the skin) but thankfully after separating them at night/feeding times and keeping them closeley supervised when together this has not happened in the last year and they seem to be getting on well.
she has never showm any type of agression towards humans and is fine meeting people/dogs both on walks and if they come to our home. Our home is a generally busy one and she is fine with children.
however a male friend of dp's daughter came over the other day, it was the first time our gsd had met him. she started fussing him a bit (not jumping up more like sniffing/licking him) and they started playing. he then put his hand around her snout.
suddenly her demeanour changed and she jumped up and kind of snarled/snapped at him then sat back down. I immediately firmly told her no and put her into the kitchen.
I was just wondering if I could get any insight into this, I am very upset and worried that this is the first step she might be taking into agression? should I call a dog behaviourist?
