My Dog Hates Puppies

Post by CrazyPan »

Hello!

I have a 6 year old corgi named Pudgy. He is normally a great dog. Loves people, loves kids, gets along great with other dogs, loves cats, etc. However any time he meets a puppy he acts aggressively toward them. Now before you suggest that it is a size issue, if the dog is an adult whether it is a Great Dane or a Chihuahua, he is fine with it. But if the dog is a puppy (big breed or small breed) he snarls, growls, and will even attack. He's never drawn blood but I am terrified to take him to the dog park for fear of him lashing out at puppies there.

I don't really know what steps to take to correct this behavior. Does anyone have any suggestions for dealing with this?

Thanks so much for any advice!
