I have a boxer/cattle dog mix (Matilda) who has shown aggressive behaior lately. I got her 2 months ago from a shelter. She had no real back ground, as she was a stray. The first month was great, I wasn't working and we had time to bond and get to know each other. She had not shown much aggressive behavior.
A week ago I started work again and had to leave her home alone. She was suffering from an ear infection so I asked my mother to wtach her during the day. She ended up biting my mother pretty severly. Since this accident she has not shown any signs of aggressive behaior. I take her to the dog park all the time and she gets along great with other dogs and humans.
She is also a terror on leash, only when there is another dog present. When there isn't another dog, she walk really well.
Should I take her to see a behaviorlist, or does she need more time to get used to me as her owner?
I am already very attached to her and would hate to have to give her back!!!!
