She is very aggressive.
Yes you are doing the right thing by giving her to someone that will be able to love her and deal with her problems.You are probably not going to like what I have to say here but they are the facts and will maybe help you understand when and if you ever get another dog.
First of all Pekingese are NOT children friendly, this breed does not tolerate, squeezing, mauling, hugging too tightly, or having children in their faces. Most good breeders will never sell to people that have children under 9 years of age.
Has bitten several
>children - not always 'provoked'. Jumps non-stop on
>the tv. Won't allow anyone to walk near her if she's
>guarding food/toy, etc...
Now you have to think back and remember what you did or did not do that created this little aggressive dog ! Remember you got her when she was 8 weeks old, they do not have a vicious temperment at 8 weeks old, they are babies and all problems you are having developed over the 2 1/2 years you had her, so somehow it was the way you raised her, maybe the way you did or did not dicipline her as a baby, you are the one that shaped her attitude and emotions.
The very first time she groweled or showed aggression, what was your dicipline, did you dicipline her or was it cute when she was a baby?
A peke is very stubborn, and if they get away with something once they will do it all the time, just like a child, so you really have to correct bad behaviour,
No dog, of any breed should ever bite or show aggression to family members and it has to be delt with immediately.
Once a peke dislikes children then that is the way it will always be until the children get older. They are not a vicious little breed, they are warm and loving and very precious, but they are not childrens dogs.
>We will be traveling a lot this summer so I know it
>wouldn't be fair to keep her locked up or worse,
>outside all the time
Most people bring their pekes with them, they love to travel, they are a part of the family. Pekes are not "outside" dogs, they do not tolerate heat very well nor do they like being left alone, they like to be treated like a member of the family and go where ever you go.
but how can I get over this?
Maybe it will be a learning experience and will teach you what to do and not do with the next dog you get. Study the breed of dog you want, make sure it is child friendly and know how to raise a dog with proper dicipline, go to obedience classes and learn reward methods on how to shape your dog to be a good dog.
>My husband says he's afraid she will really bite to
>leave a mark on one of the kids and soon! I really
>can't disagree.
He is right, this poor little dog will bite someone hard and now it is going to be a huge task for the person that takes on the responsibility of trying to correct all its bad habits. My hat is off to the loving lady that is willing to take this job on. I wish her all the best of luck.
>Are we doing the right thing?? pls advise. thx.
