Britain's Sunday Telegraph reports Princess Anne will send her bull terrier Florence to an animal psychologist to see if she can have an attitude adjustment.
Florence attacked a royal maid over the weekend and a few days earlier had injured one of Queen Elizabeth's beloved corgis so badly that he had to be euthanized.
Psychologist Roger Mugford says he expects to begin work with Florence in a few days.
