Story
Since moving to a new home, I’ve noticed a significant change in Dakota’s behavior and overall demeanor. She has become more territorial and has nipped at a couple of people. One incident occurred when my son came over to dog sit, and another happened during a grooming/boarding visit. She also becomes extremely reactive when she sees my grandson through the fence, barking excessively and seeming unable to settle down. On one occasion, she wrapped her leash around me and tangled my legs to the point that I was nearly injured. I work long hours and frequently babysit my grandchildren in my home, so I’m increasingly concerned about their safety with Dakota around. We’ve tried increasing her exercise, but unfortunately, it hasn’t made a noticeable difference in her behavior.
