Interesting This is most interesting that females would be more domineering than males, you would think it would be the complete opposite. I think though that women are more domineering of their companion than males, which starts to make more sense with me.
The one question I do have is my friend has a teacup yorkie that is so sweet, and when Bella met him she got aggressive. I really would like them to be friends so we can go on walks together and hang out. He is the complete opposite of Bella very very shy and timid. Is there any chance that they can be friends at all? Do you have any suggestions for getting her less aggressive around other small dogs?
I find the idea of standing between the wall as showing it as my territory a great suggestion I will try that. She will literally pace the wall for hours waiting for a reflection as well...so when I hear a car go by I will go to the wall and block her from jumping. She's a very smart girl, but very stubborn. I am not sure if your dog is the same, but when I am consistent with something she listens. I will try your suggestion and let you know if it is successful! |
