| socializing Mango with dogs Mango seems to be protective of his owners...he yaps and barks if someone else in our family touches Susie, our pug. If Susie comes on the couch next to Mango and I, Mango will go over and bite Susie on the face! Or for example, about five minutes ago....Mango is on my lap on a chair. There is a chair next to me, that Susie is sitting on. Susie jumps on the chair and Mango gets out of my arms and bites her on the face right by her eye! Susie is never really afraid of dogs, but she is afraid of Mango now How can I get Mango to get along with other dogs??? I can't let him be around other people's dogs, because he will bite them too, not hard, but it scares the owners, i would think. He lived with a lot of other dogs at the breeders, and they never had this problem. |

| First, you must not allow Mango to get away with this behavior. I know it's super cute to think Mango doesn't want anyone near mommy, but there is a difference between protective and possessive. When Mango goes for Susie, and Mango is in your arms, make a loud noise like "Ah Ah" or something to distract him from what he's doing. Immediately put him on the floor. Think of being in your arms as a position of power and as a reward. He only gets rewarded for behaving in an appropriate manner. Also, start with basic obedience, this will help build your bond with him and give you better ways of teaching him.

Poppy's Mamma ♥ Donating Member | You need to let Mango know that you do NOT like this behaviour! Start with a loud firm "NO!" and if this dosn't work then I suggest using the water spray on him when he gets aggressive until he gets the idea. Until then make sure you supervise them when they are together and I would try and keep then seperated when you have to go out.

| Megan, it sounds like he has become possessive over you and your family and is trying to assert his dominance on Susie. When he does this tell him "no" or "no bite" and give him a time out and completely ignore him for a bit. He needs to learn that if he can't be nice he won't receive your attention and affection. He will learn quickly once he realizes that he has to behave to have your affection. It's kinda like how puppies play with their litter mates. If a puppy gets too rough the other pup will yelp and won't play. They then learn that if they want to play with that puppy they have to be more gentle. Also remember to take time several times of the day to give Susie your complete attention. He needs to learn that he isn't the center of the universe and he has to share you and your family with others.
