Hello all~
Nicki is developing some child aggresion... he stays outdoors when I am at work (week days: 10 am to 3:30 pm). He loves the kids at the school, just LOVES them... on weekends kids are at the school playing - even when school is not in session, they just play around with the toys and stuff, and sometimes they come over to pet little Nicki, Nicki loves them, licking their hands, jumping all over. But something went wrong... something changed... when I was walking Tammie (my daughter) home from school, I saw Nicki from the hill, the fence is right where the the school starts, so it's like my house - then the school comes right after it. The kids are free to pet him through the fence. A child, I believe one of Tammie's school mates... went up to the fence and tried to pet Nicki, when he reached his hand through the fence, Nicki barked and snarled, ran up to the fence, adn then Nicki snapped and snarled at the poor child. I ran over to see if the child was all right. Other then being very frightened the child was fine. I was scared and astonished. I went over to the fence and scolded him. He always loved the kids before, he would run up to the fence and lick their fingers. Do you think the kids wer abusing him or something? I don't know what's wrong... but I am REALLY determined to find out! Nicki is 5 months old and is already showing aggression. I don't know if I want a dog like that, ya know? And I have a child myself, and with a child aggresive dog... well... that doesn't make a good match, ya know? Any tips? Maybe I should keep him in a kennel? Away from the school kids? Inside while school is in session? But what about Tammie? I have NO idea of what to do!
