protective dog

[firsttimemommy212]

I'm not very far along only about 9 weeks and my dog will literally not leave my side and I'm scared she will start getting aggressive towards people if they come near me when she is around. She's never been aggressive but my friend had that problem when she was pregnant. Anyway I can make sure that doesn't happen???????? I know it's not a baby/pregnancy question but there has to be someone that's had this happen

Thank you!

You have to watch her body language extremly close while your around ppl and stop it when you see her body starting to react aggressively. Ex. Ears back eyes low hair up walking slow tail down anything that looks like shes mad or unsure, and stop it. Snap at her or give her a little tap on the butt. Not a hit, just a assertive touch. And tell her u trust that person. If it is someone you dont trust then let her be protective. She will learn in time for baby.
