Great article! I'm fully aware that Lyka is fear aggressive, and like Jax, I restrict her to prevent any bites.
However, she displays protection mannerisms around men. She immediately puts herself between me and the male. Her tone changes, she growls and curls her lip back, where with females she just barks and hides behind me. So my trainer is going to bring in a male to evaluate at our next session. I think it's just an increase in fear of men due to something negative associated with them in her past, but the trainer believes it may be protective as well. Which is why I'm loving having a trainer help me, I can't honestly tell exactly what's going on, I just know it's more extreme and frightening around males.
