Hello,
We have a beautiful 1 year old female brindle boxer. She is a wonderful sweetheart. The problem lately though is she has started to become aggressive towards other dogs at the dog park. This doesn't happen all the time. She will run and play but will try to be dominant towards some dogs and when they become scared and start to nip back at her she will pin them to the ground and growl at them. She hasn't harmed any of them but the other day there was a 3 month old border collie that absolutely loved her, yet when he tried to play she would wrestle with him for a short period and then pin him down. He becomes scared and runs for his owner with is tail between his legs. All be it, he will shortly come back for more two minutes later. Should I be worried about this. She has always been very protective of my husband and I when other dogs are around but we have always put a stop to it by having one of us hold her while the other pets the new dog until she relaxes and then the one petting the other dog will start to pet both of them. She responds fairly well with that. Until they come between her and us again then she will do it again. Any help with this would be appreciated. Thank you. We are first time boxer owners.
