Never in my life did I know a dog could actually pout like a human 
She was jealous for 2 straight months - I thought too I made a mistake but tried to act normal with the new puppy and not overdo the attention
it took time - eventually holding each on both sides for short periods telling them what good girls they were and boom - one day they were playing and are best friends - where ever one is the other is right there.
when Cheri started to actually play with toys - Chanel would hide them or pile ALL of them in front of her and act like Clint Eastwood - daring Cheri to 'go ahead....make my day' - poor Cheri would sit and sit looking at the toy pile Chanel was guarding
I swear poor Cheri could hardly play with a toy without Chanel taking it away from her - and lucky for me I was always there to referee and distract them it took a bit and for Cheri to be a certain age when Chanel realized it was fun having a little sister |
Can you come referee for me? We have had Magggie for almost two years and her and Buster don't get along any better now than they did two years ago. They are both very jealous of each other. The trainer we had for Buster is going to come back and do an assessment to see what can be done. I don't know what I've done wrong but it's gotten way out of hand. I hope things work out better for you...good luck. Re-homing either dog is not an option. Hopefully the trainer can help us. Please keep your fingers crossed.
