I am beginning to feel that she is one that needs to be in a home or with someone that has the time to fully devote to giving her all the one to one demanding attention that she so seemingly is expressing  . She plays real well with Baby Blessing but is jelous when I give the others attention, she wants it ALL for herself. She is adorable and melts ones heart, I just don't know what to do. I posted her picture below.
I was wondering if anyone else has gone through this and what did you do to resolve the problem????? I have never gone through this before.
I definately don't want Baby Blessing nor Prairie Bea to pick up on the hollering bit
Thanks for any opinions, Patti and Jack |
I think what you need to do is go back to establishing YOU (not her) as alpha in the house. At night, put her in her crate in another room, and DO NOT go to her when she cries. Each time you go to her, you're teaching her, "cry, and I'll come get you." Is it any wonder that she tries that. After about 3 nights or so of you sticking firm to it and not going to her in the night, it should settle down. Read this:
Nothing in Life is Free. It will help you establish yourself as the alpha in the house, and you'll start to get better cooperation from her.
Now, you said she acts Jealous of the other dogs. What does she do?
