YT 500 Club Member | Dog Jealous Of Husband And Daughter Does anyone know how to nip this in the bud. When ever my daughter or husband try to hug me Sammie will bark at them and try to pull them away. Today my dog was sleeping on the couch and my husband went to hug me and he jumped up and growled and went to bite. I am hoping he just startled him because he was sleeping next to me. How do I stop the jealously? Thanks |

| I saw a similar situation on Caesar's t.v. program or one of the other dog handler shows and they instructed the predominant care giver to pick up the dog and place it on the floor. Establishing the dog is not in the upper pack control. If standing (not sitting on the sofa) I think you can put yourself between the dog and your family member and tell him no or remove him to another room. Jmho |

| Agreed. Even though they are our loves, we have to let them know that all humans are higher on the pecking order than they are. When they act up, scold them, put them on the floor and ignore them while you let the hubby or daughter sit down, hug you or whatever. Doggie needs to know that you are in control and do not need them to be the protector of you, but you are the protector of them.

| She only does it very rarely anymore, and usually it is when she has been high energy playing for a while or when she is just waking up.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | We had to work with a trainer on this, it got so I couldn't trust Joey around my granddaughter. It's not so much that they are jealous, but if you are the primary caregiver, they are protective of you. This is the first time this has ever happened to me, but then, Joey's the first pup I've ever had, I think I didn't establish enough boundaries when he was young. The good news is it's pretty easy to take control again, but it does take some practice. He seems like a happier pup, now that he knows I'm the boss.
