Pepsi has started her first season probably a week in to it. She seems even more aggressive than normal. What have other peoples experiences please. Thanks Jay

Any behavioral issue will keep intensifying if not addressed, regardless of age. I’d get a handle on this now and make it a top priority.

My hybrid would become more territorial. She also wouldn't let any male dog get behind her.

We are getting to grips with her behaviour which is getting better. She is very territorial which I guess is to be expected. If I invite people in she is excited but ok with them and does settle. Outdoors when walking on a lead she likes people to keep there distance and watches them. She used to bark etc at anyone but now is tending to watch and is getting more accepting of there presence. Off the lead in the park etc she is not that bothered by people or dogs. She just nicks balls off dogs. She is improving month by month I just hope she keeps getting better and more trusting of people. Jay

Rogue has had three seasons now. She has a slight aggressive attitude but so do I when I don’t feel well. Her aggression isn’t an issue for us. She doesn’t act like she wants to kill anyone. She was just a bit irritable. Towards the end of her second week she’s good.
