dod doesnt like neighbor

Question
I have a 6yr old rottweiller, who is very lazy, hardly ever barks and would let anyone in the house with out even getting of the couch. We also have a 2yr old daughter who rides on Sadie and a 8yr old neice. But are neighbor across the street, a 7yr old boy, who has been coming to our hard for the last 3yrs. our dog just goes nuts when she sees him, she growls, barks shows her teeth. im really afraid that if he would come in the yard when Sadie is outside, she would attach him!!! I need help with any suggestions.....Please help...

Thank you,

Denise

Answer
Denise,

Well, this is definitely a behavioral issue.  Has this boy antagonized her without you knowing perhaps?  Thrown things at her, hit her etc.?  She may have a good reason not to like him!     

In any event you need to stop the behavior asap.  I recommend you call a dog trainer tomorrow and describe the problem.

I don't have a lot of expertise with training so the best advice I can give to keep her away from the boy and seek out a professional trainer who has experience with aggression.

Sorry I can't be of more help, have a great week and good luck!
