One of my son’s was recently in a auto accident and suffered s severely broken ankle. He has been laid up for about 10 weeks now with many more to come. He had a friend stop by the other day, while we were gone. He had one of our doxies sitting with him, who has become very protective of him lately. She bit his friends hand. He has pretty deep puncture wounds and some bruising.
She has always been fearful, and I feel like I didn’t socialize her enough when she was little. We had her spayed pretty early and she had complications, so when I would have normally brought her out among people, she stayed in. We just felt she was too fragile.
Is there anything I can do at this point to change her? My first thought was that I was going to have to put her down, that I can’t risk her biting anyone else. When I am around, she listens to me. But now I am afraid of having her around the grand babies. We love her dearly, and she is great around us, just not other people.
