 I have had it with the bullying
Sadie is the sweetest, most submissive dog outside the house, and is sweet to everyone inside the house, except Joey, and I need advice. Sadie is obsessed, and that's putting it mildly, with stalking him, blocking his way, and making sure to grab every toy from him. He is very strong and hangs on to the toy, but she is much bigger, and ends up dragging Joey with the toy in his mouth across the room. Sometimes she bites him when they are both running to greet me when I get home or when they are going to greet a visitor at the door. Sometimes they have an out and out doggie fight and I separate them. Sometimes she is roughhousing with him, but in a love/hate way which usually ends up with him squealing and me separating them. I feel like all I do is yell at her during these times. Am I supposed to let them duke it out. Joey is very happy and not neurotic at all, but I am so tired of her bullying him. None of my neighbors believe me because outside she is a mush who rolls over on her back with every dog she sees. |
