Chipper gets very aggressive over my nine year old daughter. Especially if she is asleep. Even to the point of almost biting me or her sister if we try to pick her up to put her in bed. I am afraid he will actually bite one of us but I don't want to scold too much because he is just protecting her. Any suggestions??

:) Hi Debbie,
Nemo only gets protective of me for some reason if I am laying down and someone, anyone approaches me. He never bit , but he would bark and thrust his body forward! Never any other time would he do this , I don't know why?:confused: I really have no advice, but I know there must be a reason for it. Maybe someone could tell us:D

he hasn't bitten anyone yet either I am just afraid he will. Seems like it's only her he is like this with too.

Wow, I don't have the problem except if my Kallie is grooming her daddy, then she is nippy with her bro Toby!!! LOL They fight over him!! But nothing like what you are discribing. Toby is very protective, no it is jealous of other dogs and will bite and attack the dog but not bite me or anybody! He is nervous around new people but never will bite or snarl or anything like that! Dont' know what to say!

Totally not healthy and he needs to be scolded for it ( totally against smacking), Clap your hands and say " NO" pick him up and put him in time out ( a play pen, spare room, bathroom etc etc anywhere away from you ALL). you need to stop this behaviour NOW, it can turn REALLY ugly if you don't. EVERYTIME he does it, you need to clap your hands say "No and remove him.
You may even have to ring around for a trainer to offer you some advise, good luck in getting rid of this bad behaviour.
