Need Serious Dog Training Help!?
Filed under Care & Training Q&As
I have a one-year-old female cockapoo who is spayed.
For a while, now she just simply won’t let my sister or I pick her up. Whenever Mandy (my cockapoo) even has the slightest feeling that my sister or I want to pick her up, she immediately growls. Then, if you try to physically move her, she’ll go crazy like an ill dog and sometimes even bite.
I’ve already tried picking her up and shouting, “no,” whenever she growls, but it didn’t work. I then tried to reward her with treats every time she didn’t growl/bite, but that didn’t work because – you guessed it – I can’t even pick her up. Ever.

Well bravo to the idiot who bred this mongrel!
It may be genetics it may be the parents being aggresive or the DNA mixing either way go get some professional training and congrats on the mutt.
Aggression is a serious issue that should be dealt with using a professional dog trainer, rather than an internet forum.
you need Professional help good luck.
Have a different vet due an examine. Maybe an instrument got left in the animal’s belly after the surgery. Pain could be an answer, since the animal doesn’t want anyone to pick it up.
