need advice

[missdizzywizzy]

Hi i am a new user and i wonder if anyone can help me. I have a large cross alsation staff George. He has attacked our smaller dog benji twice this week causing him sever damage to his neck. The george is fine with our other dog molly (we have 3), people and gets on well with children.

we think the attacks on benji are caused by jealousy as he is very close to my husband.

Does anyone know of a rescue centre that would help us rehome him quickly. Bnji should be home from hospital tomorrow and we are unable to keep them in seperate areas of the house.

Hi Miss Dizzywizzy

Have you tried DogPages?

That's a superb rescue forum, with lots of representatives of rescues posting there every day.

It would be a lot easier to advise you if you told us a little bit more. Things like - how long have you had each dog and how old are they? Are either neutered? Are they vaccinated? Do either have any health problems? Whereabouts are you?

In the meantime, I'll move this to the behaviour board in case anyone can offer you some advice to help you keep your dog.

Take care

Kathy

Hi Kathy

where do I start ok
Benji is about seven, he came to us as a puppy and is nervous and needs lots of cuddles and reasurance. This is the poor soul who has been attacked. He has been nutered. He is a small cross breed dog. I have no idea what mix of breeds he is.


George is three years old he also came to us as a puppy. He is very bouncy and friendly. He has never shown any agression to people or children/babies. He is crossbred alsation and staff. He has not been nutered. he is the one who attacked benji.

We also have Molly, George's sister. She and George used to fight when they were young puppies but the get on ok now. She is also nutered.

The problem really began when our oldest dog passed away earlier this year. George started to bully Benji but it was never aggresive. On Monday George attacked Benjie at the throat and caused considerable dammage to his neck. Since then we have supervised the dogs at all times. they appeared to be making friends. Then last night my daughter-in-law came to visit Benji to see how he was doing. George then attacked Benji again for no apparent reason. as a result Benji is in hospital and is very frightened. I fear that if he comes home with George still here the same thing is going to happen again. He will not survive another attack.

As I said earlier George is not a bad dog he is full of life and I love him dearly. He would be fine in a home without other pets and probably no children. I dont want to have him put down but how can Benji come home with him still here. Our house is not designed well enough for us to be able to keep them seperated for more than a short time.

wait have you tried hsving your husband give equal attenion to both dogs. what is happing is that he feels that your husband favorites benjji. but if u can't do that don't give him to a pound. cause if you did you would be doing a horrible thing
