To save the puppy's life, give it away. These dogs will kill if given the chance. They are dog aggressive because they were bred to fight.Staffy Female Attacked New Puppy Advice Needed!?
You may have intervened too early. She was just telling the pup who was boss when she snapped initially. My male husky did this to our new puppy then it stopped til she matured and then there was an almighty scrap with blood and fur flying and she took the dominant role. It's been fairly quiet ever since. You can't leave your pup alown with her, Get a crate put the pup in it when you go out so he's safe but the ***** can get used to him. Ignore the pup when you get back and give her top dog place...not Alpha that's you and your family Let her greet you first then let the pup out and he can greet you last. Feed her before him then feed him in the crate. Food is a huge issue with dogs. Get all family members do the same thing. It's hard but the pup is in her eyes below her in status.If this doesn't work call in the experts.It is worrying as pups are rarely attacked if introduced the right way
have them both put down as they are nasty dogs.if she did that to a dog imagine it happening to a child.
I would contact a dog trainer/animal behaviorist. Your female is ';leader'; and there is something that is going on in your pack life that is causing her to be disruptive.
YOU HAVE TO TRAIN THE FEMALE DOG TO NOT BITE ANYONE OR ANY THING INCLUDING ANOTHER DOG....GET A TRAINER/TAKE HER TRAINING BUT ITS THE ONLY WAY,WITH TIME YOULL GET RESULTS
i would house the puppy with someone else how would you feel if next time its worse and the pup gets killed its not fare to the pup its like saying you cant be a puppy you have to grow up now ,pups just wont to be pups and chew on everything they find and as you say you cant keep them separated all the time and are you going to be there 24/7 to keep an eye on them
take both of your pups for formal training- esp- your older *****- she needs food aggression training and NOW- it will only get worse- i had a bullmastiff that hated a great dane of mine so much that we had to keep them seperated for 3 years- it continually got worse until one day after i was playing with the dane- the bull attacked me out of jealousy- he no longer lives with us- but this early in the game you can retrain your older pup and your younger pup to live happily together- but it will take a professional trainer- we take ours weekly and all of our 6 pups get a long well( now)
i have the same problem with my dogs. the best thing to do is to get plenty of chew toys for them both so therefore they wont fight over just one. if they both have something to chew on, most likely they will leave eachother alone. just keep an eye on them and make sure they are no where near eachother while chewing on a chew toy while the puppy is still little. as the puppy gets older it might be able to fend for itself and keep the other dog from taking her chew toys and/or attacking it. you could also yell at the dog if it gets too close, or shows signs of aggression towards the puppy to teach the dog it is bad and you dont like it.
The older dog was resource guarding to the extreme. Since we don't know what she will choose to 'guard' next time, you will need professional assistance to help you deal with this very serious issue. Do not leave them alone together until you have worked with a professional and are convinced things are settled. Good luck.
This is an example of resource guarding. You need to get professional help ASAP. The more a behavior is repeated the stronger it becomes, so get help now before she has opportunity to repeat it.
not all staffs are aggressive people!! u have 2 choices huni, either crate train them both ie train them both to go into crates on demend, when your not in or when you go to bed, then they will both learn they have boundries and you are in control,u deciede when they can come out, but always let the oldest out 1st, she will be pack leader and the puppy will learn and respect that or im afraid you may have to rehome the puppy if the oldest wont accept him.x
obviously the problem is the bone. most dogs are aggressive when it comes to bones %26amp; food. keep them seperate when you feed them %26amp; give them bones. the problem could even get to favorite toys.
I had this problem once with our older lab/shepherd mix and our new Basset Hound puppy. The older dog was a serious resource guarder with other animals (fine with people). He broke the puppy's skull, causing $500 in vet bills in 1984 dollars (probably over $2000 today). The vet said it was like trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle with some of the pieces missing. The puppy recovered, but after that we simply kept them apart unless they were STRICTLY supervised.
Normally adult dogs are fine with puppies and will discipline them without harming them, but the odd one is NOT trustworthy and can inflict serious damage. I'd be worried that yours is one of them.
Seems yoru female thinks shes the Boss of Alpha ... You should be teh Alpha take control and Make a time out area and put her there until you thinks she is over it, Id contact a locla trainer and discuss this with them to see what they think you should do but You must become alpha what ever you say goes just takes disiplin and love.Trust me it can happen see my link of mine. =)

first you have to deal with her possessiveness, give her bones with out the other pup around and take them away from her, make sure she doesn't growl or resist, if she just won't co-operate you have a problem, seek hlep from an experienced trainer, you don't need the vet bills or the stress on the other dog. If you manage okay to start, you can build from there. Some dogs never get over this, so you will need to ensure the situation doesn't arise, you can give each their own bone in their own crate. Don't leave bones out, you might even have to watch toys, I have a girl who is very protective of toys, and will guard several at once just to prevent others from getting them.
