Lab becomming aggressive to Some dogs

[ShaggyRS6]

Hi all, trixie my 2 1/2 year black LAN has started over the last few months to become aggressive to other dogs. Not all dogs, but most, yesterday for example she went for a staffy in the vets for no reason.

 

She has run 100 yards to pull a little ankle snapper back toward me, and she tries to start fights with a few other dogs. It does not concern her if they are bigger or if they fight back.

 

She is a very dominant dog , soft at home but very dominant outside, if I throw a ball and my spaniel gets to it first the lab will try and drag the spaniel back by the ear or cheek thinking the dog is an extension of the ball.

 

With people she is soft, although can bark at one or 2 people.

 

 

Any advice would be great. Pls excuse spelling, I'm posting from my iPhone

Anyone? Where is NTTF lately?

I think your first port of call is the vet.As this behaviour isnt normal you need to eliminate illness first.Pain will often change a dogs personality from mild mannered to nasty so getting a vet to give her an MOT should be first priority.

She's not in any pain

Dogs have all the same personality quirks and mental heath issues that humans have and for all the same reasons.
