... and yet, a few weeks ago, my husband came home with a 10 pound rat terrier.
Sweetie Belle has been with us a couple months now, and she seems to havesome pretty intense fear aggression problems fear aggression. She loathes strangers. She follows around houseguests, yapping until they leave. When the mailman arrives, she waits quietly at the window until he's right in front of her, then begins to shriek, scaring the shit out of him.
She's two years old or so. I think she might not be properly socialized. According to the shelter, her previous owner was an older gentleman who no longer had the time to care for her.
None of my usual tactics are working. I love this dog, but she needs to calm down. How do I fix this?
