Question
I have a 1 1/2 yr old colby/alligator head pitt that for some reason everytime I bring another animal in my home she seems to attack them even though I give her as much attention as I do her. Why is that?

Answer
The dog is being territorial or she may not have been properly socialized as a pup. Sometimes it helps to introduce the two dogs in a neutral area, such as a park and then walk them back to the house together. There are more problems of this sort between dogs of the same sex than opposite sex, even if they're neutered.
