I have a call in to Rocco's trainer. I am waiting for her to call me back.
Until she does, I would appreciated any help I can glean from the experts here.
Rocco is a sweetheart. He is seven months old, and has completed basic puppy class. Our other dog is a 1.5 year old neuterred Pap ,also a sweetheart, that has had obedience training.
Up until about a week ago, these guys were best buds. Then it started.... they will "stare" each other down then leap at each other with snarls, snaps and fierce barking. At first we separated them immediately and gave them each a time out. They would then go back to being just fine; till the next outburst. Today the fighting happened so frequently that we have them in two separate rooms.
Rehoming is not an option; this is their home. They got along just grand before, what happened?! What can I do till my trainer calls back? Words of wisdom anyone?
