I mentioned in another thread that the neighbor's Great Dane reached over our fence and picked Dottie up and tried to kill her. She didn't succeed and Dottie is healing up. The puncture wounds are not getting infected and the bruising is going down.
The problem I have is now Dottie's behavior. She was REALLY freaked out afterwards. I kept her separate from the other dogs for a couple days, but now she is back among the pack. Twice now something has set her off and she is attacking Rosie Bacon. Rosie is a Scotty.
I had this problem before. Dottie would attack her sister Glinda. I finally had to rehome Glinda.
Now that I know what has started this, does anyone have any ideas how I can nip this. Dottie and Rosie have been getting along great before this. I'm not worried about Rosie getting hurt, she's a Scotty after all. I don't like the conflict, and I'm worried a fight could escalate when I am not around.
Any suggestions?
