Hi all!

My husband recently got a golden retriever puppy (three months) we used the vets advice and introduced them slowly and made sure that the dog knew that the rabbit was not to be chased or attacked. She (dog) learnt very fast that the rabbit was her sister and gave her a lot of respect and they were good with each other, I could begin to trust them together for small amount of time. We then moved house and this is when everything went wrong! – I heard the puppy whine a few times early in the morning, when I went to see the problem the rabbit was the other side of the room sleeping. It wasn’t until I was in the room watching them, I saw the rabbit lung at the dog and try to bite her. It should be noted my rabbit was spayed around 9 months ago and she is just under a year old. Then I noticed some stains on the dogs bed, I know they weren’t from the puppy because she pees somewhere else and it wasn’t that much, I then noticed that there was rabbit poop on the carpet and close to the bed and then there was a lot on her bed too. Then she started peeing in front of me! – whilst watching me! I told her off and pushed her off the bed and she then peed on the floor. 

I am desperate for help, why is my rabbit who has been house trained for all the time I have had her, has started doing this? Is it because she’s not getting enough attention? Is it because she doesn’t like the puppy? Is there something I don’t know?! Has anyone had this happen? Is there anyone who can help me solve this attitude? 

Thank you for any advice!
