My dog is 8 months old. She is a Golden Retriever. We got her at 4 weeks. My brother has been playing with her aggressively ever since we brought her home. And literally, every single day when my brother get back home from work, he pull her to the couch by her collar and plays aggressive with her. One time I was watching tv, with my hand hanging off the couch, and then all of a sudden she charges at my and starts biting me really bad. (She has all recent shots + rabies shot; so she doesn't have rabies) That just got me really mad, so I pushed her off and said "NO" and slapped her snout, which got her more aggressive. I really shouldn't have done that. And almost every week she does that to me and my brother. Sometimes she just barks really loud all of a sudden, which makes everyone jump up. I really don't know what her problem is because, we checked outside and there's no one outside, no even a fly. I really need help before all this gets worse or else my dad will throw out on the streets. He really doesn't like our dog due to her aggressiveness and barking. (He got biten by a dog really bad when he was little.) Please help!!!
Me and my mom and sister really want to keep her, and so does my brother.
We know that our dad deep down likes our dog, and we're 100% sure he's not serious about throwing her out. He just doesn't like the fact that there's a dog in the house.
