What is/was your niece doing when he snapped? (need a detailed description if possible, something that seems innocent to us might not be to a dog)
Did the dog growl prior to snapping?
Was there any food in the room or nearby?
Sorry for all the questions!  |
I don't know if he is used to chldren, but he has been friendly with other kids in my house.
At the time, there were 7 people in the room, and normally it's just the 3 of us. We had been out for his walk and everyone was sat down, I was on the floor playing with him with his rope, with my Niece also on the floor. Access to his food / water was blocked at the time, but he did have access to his 'corner'.
There was no growl, but I sensed unease on his part and i'd warned my niece not to get too close, but (and it all happened so quick) i think in her excitedness, she leaned forward, and he snapped at her.
