I’m know I’m kinda desperate for an answer here, but why would my puppy become more vicious at night?
She’s pretty ok during the day. A little rough, and mischievous, but generally just acts like a typical growing puppy.
She’s currently an indoor dog, but we’re gradually working on moving her outside
She’s usually pretty ok after sundown,and actually gets kinda cuddly and affectionate. But after she goes into her crate on her own, its a whole different story. She snarls,growls and snaps at anyone who dares to bug her or disturb her in the slightest. Especially if you’ve woken her up. She will bite , and has broken skin on someone before.
And the next morning she’ll be as perky and friendly as can be, with no signs of how she acted the night before
Her crate is usually just where she sleeps. We have fed her in there, and she has a small plastic bowl in her cage. During the day she allows us to mess with the crate, and its contents,but not at night.
She is about 6-7 months old, is a German Shepherd/Border Collie/ Australian Shepherd mix. She hasn’t gone into her first heat yet. And is unfixed
Why would she get like this at night only? And what can we do? My family doesn’t want to turn her over to the pound.
