Hi,
Ive got a 16 week old border collie pup Tor, he is generally very friendly but I have a few problems with the wee guy.
The biggest problem is resource guarding, he is very very aggressive and will snap if you approach his food bowl or chews or bones he has, although he is normally fine with toys.
Ive taken to feeding him from my food reserve to his bowl by hand giving him small portions until he's had his full meal, but I can tell he is very nervous doing this.
The other problem I have is he is very rough and wouldn't think twice about biting my daughter usually jumping up while walking with a lead on, but it looks to me if he is over enthusiastic rather than being aggressive although he has drawn blood on occasion .
Any help with this would be appreciated.
