Boston Terrier's question about Anxiety

Question

My mom passed away 6 months ago from cancer. She had an older pug (female) and two male Boston’s. Cody, her older Boston started showing random aggressive behavior towards certain people, but mainly towards the other Boston. Mostly when my son is around. This started when she was sick. After her passing the two Boston’s have had several fights, but Cody always looks like he’s full of anxiety. He gets along great with my dogs, and even our male cat. He also is very clingy to my 10 year old son, and doesn’t like the other Boston around him.

Accepted Answer

The passing of an owner can be very stressful for an animal and they may react in certain ways, certainly the cause of the issues is purely behavioural and it is a case of either working with a trainer/behaviourist to get to the bottom of the issue. We have on our website (link below) many training guides for a variety of different issues, you should look through them to see which is most applicable to Cody and try to work through the steps; also at the bottom of each article there is a section where you may ask a question to a certified dog trainer.
