ok so this is my first thread (dont be too harsh) lol
well anyway, last week me and my fiance adopted our first pit, Lacey. We got her from the MSPCA in Boston, the woman there said that she was an amazing dog (which she is) trained (for the most part) and she would trust her with a baby. she is such a cuddle bug, she got spayed the beginning of last week and is finally off her pain medication and everything.
my parents have fed into the pitbull stereotype so ive been bringing her over to get them use to her and to show them what an amazing breed it can really be. she's been awesome with them.
well until today. my dad got home from work i was sitting on the end of the couch and she was on the other side of me, my dad went to reach over me and pet her, she licked his hand and like LUNGED at him. Thank god i have quick reflexes because I caught her in mid air.
Shes met him before and has let him pet her and everything so i have no ideo where this came from.
so much for showing my parents that its not the breed its the owners... Thanks Lacey!
once that was done she knew she did something wron and kept burying her head in my lap and i ignored her, she went back to him after and let him pet her, but i dont know what to do in this type of sitatuation. she's NEVER done this before, has never been aggressive (since we've had her) and since shes been at the MSPCA, shes 4 and use to live with another pit, a cat, a 9 month old and a toddler and they said shes never had those issues, so im at a loss.... any advice or training tips?
