I agree with picking up Ava and turning you back to Bowie...dogs hate being ignored and if you don't make eye contact and body block him, it should have some improvement. Does Bowie do this when on the couch with you? If so make him get down as soon as he does it and let Ava stay up. When he being nice you need to praise him. These little guys are a feisty little breed. Barley jumps up on my Great Pyrenees and pulls out cotton balls of fur. Lucky for him my GP (Garrett) is a saint and ignores him. However, I correct him each time I see it, as it's not fair to Garrett. Good luck with them. |
