Marley it is.
So my question is this. I have a 13 year old very gentle little soul named Corkie. She has been my moon and stars of course since losing Leilauni less than a year ago.
I've brought this pup home, hoping that Corkie would not feel so alone when I'm not home and working, not to mention to try to fill the gaping void that Lei left.
Well he is a darling ...and I love him to bits already but he will NOT leave Corkie alone. He wants to tackle her every minute. I've tried to let her scold him and she has laid him out many times but it is not detering him. Most likely because half her teeth are missing and probably no real BITE to her bite. I've stepped in at times because it was so ugly and I've laid him on his side by the scruff of the neck and scolded him ( Cesar Milan kinda thing).
I'm not sure this is the right thing or not. My other concern is Corkie. She seems so.........unhappy...........
He is only doing what a puppy will do..... but on the other hand, she is an old..non aggressive kinda gal..( although she sounding pretty mean when she gets after him.
He also hurts her with his pirahna teeth.
Any advice from the veterans and trainers? |
Imagine putting a 2 year old together with a 86 year old!! That's Corkie and Marley (love those names by the way!) I'm a Cesar fan also and he always stress exercising misbehaving dogs, I'm not good with taking my Yorkie on a daily walk and the past few days I've notice she's been misbehaving I think it's that pent up energy needing to be release. Marley probably need an extra walk especially just before you are leaving him with Corkie. A pooped puppy is a quiet puppy!
