Chihuahua aggressive to husband near baby while breastfeeding. What to do?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

We have a 2 year old chihuahua that won’t let my husband near our baby when I’m breastfeeding. Is this cause for concern or is he just be protective of the baby? Thanks

This is a cause for concern. I would keep your dog out of the room when you breastfeed, you don't want your dog to get aggressive with your husband. Have your dog seen by a professional behavioral expert for this behavior.

This is a very uneasy situation for everyone and is very difficult to resolve easily and unfortunately it may be worthwhile considering rehoming. A house visit from a trained behaviourist and calming supplements may help but should not be used without professional input

I have a dog he’s a chihuahua mix and his a bit to aggressive mostly around men and I don’t know if I should get help for him or just leave alone?
Definitely take Max into a veterinary behavioral expert for help! Aggressive dogs are not something to leave alone, and this behavior can and does get worse over time. In addition, if he did bite someone, he could seriously injure them and there could be very severe repercussions for that occurring including euthanasia. There are a number of cases where a dog has had to be put to sleep for biting people, and you do not want that to happen. Speak to your vet about a referral to a professional behavioral expert asap. I hope this helps!

I have a very anxious and jealous Blue Heeler (Sam). I started babysitting a 10 month old baby in the last month and he has nipped at him. Granted the baby was trying to reach out for him and trying to grab him, I still won't let him around him. I ke
That is very concerning and you should definitely not have the baby and the dog in the same room. The best thing would be to have a professional trainer work with your dog to try and modify the behavior, especially if you are planning on having a baby soon. You could also get an Adaptil collar and see if that helps. Your vet could also prescribe an anti-anxiety medication, like Prozac or Trazodone, to see if that helps, too.

My staff X bull mastiff is really undersocailised and bites people I'm 7 months pregnant and I'm worried he might attack my baby I don't want to have to get rid of him but I'm scared I might have to what can I do ????
Oh goodness. This is a big question. You may want to consider a visit with your veterinarian or a veterinary behaviorist. As a veterinarian and a mom I can tell you that is pretty easy to keep them separated the first year of baby’s life, but as they become more mobile the next several years are hard. If you have a dog who as a low bite inhibition, meaning he has already proven he will bite, then the likelihood that he will bite a child is high. Other options are to keep them separated 100% of the time (near impossible in my experience), or to keep a basket muzzle on him any time he has access to the children. I also encourage you to consider the size of the dog - and how powerful and destructive a bite will be to a small child. I have been in your shoes and it is a very hard decision to make. I have also been the mom of the child who was bitten. I encourage you to always put your child’s safety above all else. If you want to discuss this further I would be happy to consult w

I rescued my dog from a shelter. He was 2 at the time. He doesn’t get along well with other animals, he is quite aggressive. I ended up conceiving my first child and I am 5 months pregnant.. my husband thinks he’s too big and rambunctious to have aro
You have to do what is best for your family. All dogs, whether trusted or not, should always be under direct supervision around babies. I would recommend that you have Jack evaluated by a veterinary behaviorist. The vet will be able to help you work on behavior modification and give you guidance on what changes need to be made before the baby comes.

I'm not sure where to turn, or what to do, about introducing my (almost) 5 year old dog to a newborn baby (in January). We also have a 4-month old niece that my dog seems to fixate on; when being held back, so she could sniff her, she lunged at her.
I would get Bentley in with a professional behavioral expert immediately, and do not introduce her to your newborn baby at all. I'm very concerned that she has already lunged at your 4 month old niece, and that is an aggressive behavior that could have extremely serious and even fatal consequences. The safety of your baby is paramount, and I would not allow Bentley anywhere near your newborn because she already has a history of lunging at babies. You need professional help managing this behavior, and it may be honestly that rehoming her is best. I know that this would be extremely hard, but you can't have an aggressive dog around a baby. Have her seen by a professional behavioral expert first to discuss training if you want to keep Bentley, but until they feel it's safe, keep her completely separate from the baby. It may seem like I'm overreacting, but I know of cases where this has gone fatally wrong. The last thing I would ever want is for that to happen to someone else, so I

My parents have a German sheppard and he can be quite aggressive. Everyone that comes over is terrified to even get out of the car but they are in denial and think that he would take hurt anyone. What can we do. My parents watch my daughter while I'm
I can certainly understand being worried about your daughter's safety around an aggressive dog. She is not safe around him, as he could hurt her greatly, and I would speak to your parents's about your concerns over his aggression. Make a list of incidences where he has shown aggression (documented behavior) as proof of his aggression. If they still won't listen to reason, then I would consider finding alternative childcare while you are at work. If they do listen to your and your concerns, then I would take to them about having their dog start in training with a professional behavior expert ASAP. I never recommend owners try to train an aggressive dog due to safety issues, it should only be left to a professional. Their vet can give them a recommendation to one. Another thing to consider is if he isn't neutered. That can contribute to aggression, and he should be neutered as well.

My 1 1/2 year old chihuahua randomly gets aggressive with me (his owner) at nighttime. He will be in his bed, I’ll call his name so he knows it’s me, he will look up at me and as soon as I try to pet him he growls at me. This is the 2nd night he is d
Any continued abnormal symptoms (longer than 24 hours) warrants a vet exam. I cannot tell you what is wrong with him just by your description. I can tell you that you need to be diligent about getting weird behavior changes checked out . Behavior changes could be due to an underlying medical issue (pain somewhere in his body, vision problem, etc) or a behavioral issue. It is always best to rule out an underlying medical issue first before just assuming it is behavioral. I suggest you get him to a vet for an exam.

My dog nipped at the baby when we were letting the baby pet her. How should I correct that behavior? My dog would never intentionally hurt the baby, but my dog is still young. I just want to put the safety of the baby first.
It sounds like your dog is anxious and uncomfortable around the baby - this is a common problem for many dogs at first. Babies can be very scary to them! By snapping, she is doing her best to defend herself and let you know she is scared. Please do not correct this behavior, as this will only make her more anxious and upset. Instead, listen to what she is telling you and don't allow the baby to approach or bother her. For many dogs, it's best to keep them separated from babies and toddlers using baby gates or other physical barriers until the children are old enough to be gentle and respectful with animals. You can praise her and feed her treats when the baby is nearby to help her associate good things with being around her, but don't allow any direct interaction if your dog is uncomfortable. If you feel that you need more help with this, I would recommend making an appointment with a veterinary behaviorist who can evaluate your dog in person. He/she can help you put together a detai

Hello, i have a rat terrior around 9 months. We have had him for a few weeks now and can be very sweet at times but he tends to come off aggressive, not sociable at all with other people or dogs and has bitten our young children a few times from them
I am sorry you are struggling with Chico. I would highly recommend bringing a trainer into the house after making sure a physical exam by a veterinarian is normal. Behavioral issues/ training takes a lot of time and patience. I feel having someone come into the home and observe the situations where he is anxious and aggressive will help. Also recommend getting him neutered as soon as possible.
