Adult dogs don't hate puppies they just don't like being jumped on.
The feel they are due some respect and will correct the pup when
they feel it necessary. Buddy loves all small dogs. He does not tolerate
being jumped on, he will growl and back up. In the future I want a
little girl and I know it would be unfair to him to have to tolerate a puppy
so I will be searching for an adult girl so they will get along from the
very first minute.
It's never to late to train your puppy, however, with maturity, around
1yr of age they do calm down but you need to teach her no jumping.
Treat her evertime she get's down from jumping on you. Tell her good girl,
then treat. Work on this daily. Adult dog's do not like to be jumped on
at all. |
