She loves to run over and give her kisses, but her size is now overpowering Ally and she is afraid. The 8 lb baby hurts her when she plays so Ally growls and tries to bite her to protect herself. I just pick Ally up so she doesn't get hurt. They can no longer have play dates. Ally is very timid and cowers too. I'm just afraid she'll get hurt and am very over protective. My Ally is just trying to protect herself, maybe your baby is too. Sorry, I'm no help. We don't go to the dog parks because I'm afraid another furbaby will pass something to mine. Hope someone can help. |
I give the same advice to you. If you are nervous, they will get nervous.
My dogs range from 9 pounds to 2 3/4 pounds, and they all play nice. if one dog gets too rough and yelps, they other one stops.
