My cousin got her first dog a couple years ago and loved him so much she got another one within 1.5 yrs. So she has two boston terriers ages 3-4. One has bitten people 3 times I think. My cousin lives in a different city so I can't really know the dog, but it sounds like he is fearful and will attack (not just be cornered and bite) when he is afraid. He has never been aggressive with people he knows. Her other dog is sweet as pie but he is a tank and will bowl adults over. He has given my cousin's adult sister a bloody nose from jumping and ramming his head into her. They have had the aggressive dog Bentley to obedience class but it did not seem to help. They just got a referral from the vet to a behaviorist.
My cousin is pregnant and she is worried about the interactions of the dogs and the new baby. She said her friends have brought babies over before and the dogs were interested and wanted to lick them and not aggressive, but these were very short visits/intros.
Any suggestions?
