HI
I rescued a working cocker named lucy about 2 years ago,,she was very nervous and clingy, but has come on in leaps and bounds, you realy wouldnt know it is the same dog,
However recently my brother came to visit with his wife and young child, she is 3 years old, and it was the first time our dog had met her,
Of course i didnt think there would be a problem, but all of a sudden the dog went for the child, in a very nasty way, she didn't bite her, but needless to say it was very frightening for the child,
Recently over the last few months she has done the same thing on different occations, not biting but being very aggresive toward young children, I do not want to punish her excessivley as i dont want her to regress back to her former nervous self,
Any advice would be much apriciated
Phil
