Mini Dachshund
Looking for a little advice pretty please.
We’ve had a miniature dapple baby for three (nearly four years) she is the most loving, friendliest & kindest hearted girl. She’s got a bark on her, but what Dachshund doesn’t!
She’s kept on a lead unless she’s around (dogs we know for other dogs & her sake), then she’s off, brilliant recall, goes straight back on the lead. She’s always super friendly, playful & gentle with other dogs and even has some friends in our local park.
However, she’s been showing some aggressive behaviour, on Monday she tried to bite my mum (they’re besties honestly) and growled at, something my dogs never done! She’s recently been running off when off her lead, again something she’s not done before. 881
She’s now even barking and snarling at other dogs! She’s been on her lead since running off.
We honestly don’t know what’s wrong or happening. I think a Vets calls is in order but what else could trigger her to be so aggressive?
My mum did mention on her walk another dog did try and go for ours this was a few weeks ago mind… (she was on a lead at the time as it was an unfamiliar dog).
She’s also been spade for 8months now. So it’s less likely to be hormone/period related. 881
