Dog Aggression
Hi all. Today my dog went for my little one. He's currently locked outside for a timeout. I had my little girl in November 2023 and am currently pregnant again due in January. Yesterday when I went to put my dogs food out like I always do he went for me. I thought it was a one off as my partner is homebut he went for me again this morning. Which I was like fine. He's just food guarding again. But then we were sat on the sofa. My partner was fussing him and I was folding clothes baby was on the floor playing. Then he suddenly started growling so we tried to be like. What's wrong. It's okay. But he then went for my little girl. I picked her up so he couldn't gwt her and he then went for me again. What do I do. Where do I even go from here. Everyone is fine. But it shook me up and I just am lost. I love them both.

So sorry this is happening! What breed is your dog?
As this aggression is towards you. I would say it may be due to the fact your dog has only realised you’re pregnant. I read somewhere about dogs can smell when women are pregnant and although they know it’s still you, something about the smell of a pregnant woman can throw them off.
I think putting your dog on time out is a good “punishment” so he knows that behaviour isn’t acceptable. When you take him out of time out it should always be you doing it but with your partner near by. Be very assertive with this. Hopefully this is just a short term reaction. I would just continue to be very cautious x
