You've gotten a lot of good advice here, so I won't repeat it. But I will give you my sympathies, because I know how stressful a situation like this can be for your family and marriage. I had a very similar situation with a rescue yorkie several years ago, and she really came between my husband and me. The more I defended her, the more upset he became with her, and the more upset he became, the more I defended her. It was excruciatingly painful emotionally. And the more stress that's in the household, the worse the behavior gets. It's a vicious circle.
So I would definitely rent the Cesar videos. They talk a lot about this particular issue. And try some of the ideas here. And I really wish you the best.
One question for yorkiegirl83.. when you're doing the puppy roll, how can you do that gently when they are being hyperactive and out of control? |
