That's crazy, she's at a dog park, dogs are going to be playing, ie running around fast ect they accidently ran in to her. Her bad luck she should have been paying attention. Not like the dogs deliberately knocked her down.

Thanks so much for replys. Well I think you could be right it maybe be due to frustration at not being able to get where she wants. This afternoon took her to inlaws where there is a dog next door who my puppy loves to sniff through wire fence. Well the owner then bought his dog over on a lead and my puppy was so excited trying to jump and play with it. Then other owner said hold her by collar for a minute, well she started going nuts barking angrily and trying to bite me, I then let go and she ran over to other dog trying to play happily. Going to get professional dog trainer to see her this week to get the behaviour stopped hopefully. Pretty unusual behaviour for a lab though, have never known or seen one behave like her.

thankyou, so far as she has been on a lead she has biten only us, thank goodness not other people or dogs. Do you know why she would behave like this sometimes?? Have had heaps of people come to our house and taken her everywhere from when we first got her, so she has met people of all ages, so I would have thought she is well socialised. Have spoken to breeder about her jumping up on people including my kids and about first incident and she said I need to get tough with her. Said none of the other puppys from litter have shown any aggression. So I feel it is all my fault and I'm devasted. I have tried to do all the right things from the start ie ignoring her when she jumps etc, telling her no when she started barking at people and rewarding good behaviour.

Can anyone help me stop my labradors behaviour. Most of the time she walks well on a lead and will greet other dogs and people nicely, except for trying to jump up which we are working on. I noticed a couple of weeks ago that she would sometimes bark at people walking towards us if we were stopped talking to someone. But I would just tell her no as I didn't think much of it. But a couple of days ago a small child started walking towards her while my husband had her and she started barking uncontrollably aggressivly and turned and bit husband on the arm (so hard it left it bleeding and later bruised) then continued barking like crazy at child. Parents of child came and took him away and she stopped. Then the next day at a market was standing there looking at a stall when I looked up to see an older lady walking towards us with hand out obviously wanting to pat her, well she started barking like crazy again until lady turned and walked off. Today at park she walked past and stopped and sniffed lots of dogs and couple of people and was fine, then a lady with a small child asked to pat her and she had a small dog who hid behind her. Well as soon as my dog spotted the dog hiding, she went nuts barking and biting me on the arm a number of times (not as hard this time, had a jumper on and didn't leave a mark). Each time I'm telling her no. I just want a dog that is friendly to everyone. We have been to puppy preschool and are doing puppy training. She has met lots of dogs and people of all ages so why is she so aggressive sometimes?? And what can I do to stop her doing it???
