YT Addict | How to stop bullying Boo can be adorable loving and precious. BUT hes beginning to bully my 3 year old papilon. Which shes bigger than he is. I thought it was just when food is around. Due to health i spent a lot of my resting in my bed. Now hes keeping princess off the bed. He will run her off and she wont come up. If i call her he jumps down as if to warn her to not come. She was my baby first and i wont let him bully her. Right now i put him out of the bedroom with his daddy in the living room. I want both of them up here and he dont always do this. I thought it was only if i had a snack and he didnt want her to get any. But he did it and no food around. Princess is very submissive of him. But its mean. How do i stop this, its as if princess is afraid of him. Took a lot of coaxing to get her out and she was looking for him scared like. But there are times she will fight back and they flat get into it. Anyone else with this problem? |

| I'm working on this with Joel now. When me and him are on the couch or bed and Roxy comes up he will lunge/kind of nip at her and I'm really starting to get on him for it. What I've been doing is right when he does it I put him off the couch or bed right away and he tries to come back up and I say "No you're in time out" and then I let him see me giving Roxy love so he knows she's aloud to come too. He stays off for about 5-10 minutes and then he's aloud back up. After a few times of that because he hates to be away from me, he won't do it again and when I see Roxy coming I remind him before he wants to get her, I say "Stay and leave Roxy alone", and he pretty much always does now. |

| I had the same problem with my boys age 13 and 2. The older one is dominant and will go at the younger one and the younger one is starting to stick up for himself and fights back. I would try and brake them up and tell them no is a stern voice and push them apart. I keep them on the same level so they don't feel like one is the "winner". However, one day they were going at it and the younger one has a stronger bite and I put my finger by accident right in his mouth as I was trying to pull him back. Let's just say I saw stars!! A nice gash on my finger and throbbing and pain for 3 days. So now what I do is yell "no!" As loud as I can... It really startles them and they know I mean business and stop right away! It has to be a very loud yell... Might startle the other residents in the house lol! But I works and they have actually been getting along great and I am having less incidents. |

@ kerry. Boy do i hear you on the knock down drag out. This last month mine have went at it, princess and boos body are same length. Boo's legs are shorter princess can stand over top of him while hes standing. Its like they keep taking turns seeing whos the alphs amongest themselves. It scares me because boo even tho a terror on legs when he tears into princess he can be hurt worse, so far they go for ears tails and legs. So trying to nip this in the bud. If i want a snack boo or both is out of the room. But after today its like great he did it with no food. So sounds like im on the right track scold and remove from room. Anyother ideas are very much welcome. | |
