pregnant + suddenly anxious about my Bully around kids
Hi everyone,
I’m pregnant with my third and suddenly super anxious about my Bully girl (almost 2 y/o). She had a rough start (little socialization), but with training she’s come a long way.
Two things triggered my fear again:
• At 10 months she bit my son during over excited play (behaviorist said it was because she was high in arousal and lack of bite inhibition, never happened again).
• Recently she tried to do a playful “nip” at a child who biked past us really fast (no contact, impulse reaction).
She’s actually amazing with my own kids, and I even chose this breed because they’re known for being so tolerant with children, so it feels ironic that I’m scared now. Probably pregnancy hormones making everything 10× worse, but still. + all the scary “Bully attacks kid” stories online.
I’d love to hear positive experiences from people with Bullies ( or similar breeds) who did well with babies and toddlers. Just need some perspective until the behaviorist comes by.
Thanks ❤️
