[quote=Anonymous]We brought home a rescue dog about a year ago. We think he’s around 2-3 years old. He’s skittish around strangers but has been good with our family until now. Our 12 year old son is going through puberty and the dog has recently become grouchy with him. He doesn’t want DS to pet him without me or my husband sitting close by. He will growl and snap if DS persists. He doesn’t have this issue with our 10 yo daughter. We had a couple sessions with a dog behavioralist right after we brought him home to smooth the transition and she did warn us about this when she met our son and realized how old he was (11 at the time). She said when he goes through puberty and his hormones change, he will smell different to the dog and it might cause the dog to become more aggressive towards him. Have you heard this before? Do you think there is merit in it? Is there anything we should do or just wait it out?[/quote]
