I did some research and the only thing I could come up with is he
deceided the bed was "HIS" and I was the intruder. I made him stay
on the floor attaching a 6ft light weight leash to a light weight step in
harness attached to a dresser. His bed and blanket were there as well.
I made sure he could not jump on the bed. I did this for three months
and kept the door to the bedroom shut during the day when I was not
at home. He needed to understand the bed was mine and he was the guest
not the other way around.
It worked! It's been 1 1/2 yrs since the last attack. I also pick him up
on the bed at night. I do not allow him to jump up by himself. I also
keep his blanklet off the bed now. He sleeps on mine.
Good luck. Unless you have personally gone threw such an ordeal you
wouldn't understand how territoral these little ones can get.
Having a dog attack you when your half asleep in the dark is pretty
scary stuff! Thank heavens for pillows! |
Thanks for the response. Maybe that is it.. I will have to try that. If she keeps attacking us in the middle of the night she's definitly going to have to start sleeping in her own bed anyway!
