All was ok until ash came down the stairs

That's how this thread started
We have just had another incident where Meg was cuddling on my lap and ollie was on the sofa next to me. Ash came down the stairs and Ollie went to get off the sofa to make room for Ash, Meg attacked hard

Yes I know but there doesnt seem to be any logical pattern to her out bursts and I certainly don't know what I should be doing....... scrabbling in the dark and putting my dogs at risk in the process....

She was fine with ollie when we came back from training....I expect i have that to look forward to where she just attacks him whenever she see him after time apart.........

Kiz could the resource she is guarding/protecting be Ash ?

Hi,

Give yourself a break sweetie, you are doing right by your dog and it'll come together soon.  Just a few more days x x x

In the meantime - take ALL their toys and any bits of bone or other treats that are around the place up and put them in another room right out of the way. 

It will be logical TO HER - in which case Bev will be able to work her out and translate - I am sure of it.

I dont think its Ash per-se, I think it has more to do with the room dynamic changing.

I'm gonna throw this one back at you ... why did you look for another dog and why did you choose Meg - before you knew about all her issues and stuff ?
