 severe dog jealousy issues
chelsea & binny are my cousin's dogs and i am staying with them for the summer. chelsea's like 3 and binny's 9 or 10 y/o.
i noticed that binny has a nasty temper!!! she'll growl at you and tries to bite you. she'll growl if i pet her and she doesn't want to be petted. but that could be because she didn't know me. now she only growls when i pet her while she's sleeping.
but onto the main problem, chelsea & binny fight infront of me all the time. well it is binny that starts the fights.
for instance, this one night i tried not to sleep with the dogs because i never get a good night's sleep but when i went to the bathroom in the middle of the night, chelsea ran and sneaked into the room t o sleep with me. in the morning binny wanted to come into my room. she was whinning and scratching the door (6am) my aunt wouldn't open the door for her. when i woke up binny went in and attacked chelsea. i'm assuming she was mad that chelsea got to sleep with me while she had to sleep elsewhere.
i also noticed that when i get up to go to the bathroom, binny has to be the first one to follow me.
chelsea on the other hand gets mad if i only pet binny. he'll try to squeeze his snout underneath my petting hand so she'll get petted instead of binny...
i was told by my cousin that binny started to develop these nasty temper ever since chelsea came along. i mean i can understand it. its like when you got your baby brother/sister, you're no longer the center of attention....
anyone have dogs that have severe jealousy issues? |
