Vindictive behavior... IDK... sounds like she just really wants to be with you and/ or your fiancee. Maybe take her out to the car once or twice so she can see and understand what's going on when you run out to the car for something forgotten, and verbally tell her what you're doing. (some dogs understand language better than others), and then try not taking her to see if it still upsets her, but tell her where you're going and that you'll be right back. Whenever she is good... remember to treat her.
Try taking her into the gas station pay place to let her see where it is you're going. Maybe seeing will help her understand?
You both are her world, she can only learn and experience things you allow her access to. She may be bored and if she feels unbonded with you, it can cause her unresonable stress. I think when the bond becomes more reliable and stronger, her behavior may improve.
And this may seem silly, but I feel inclined to include it here:
Every night, before bed, the very last thing you do, is hold her on your lap, and tell her she is a good dog. I don't care if you had the day from h*ll with her, forgive her and say those words. Hold her for 5 or 10 minutes and say good things to her, in your calmest voice. Tell her she's the prettiest dog in the world. And the best dog ever. And that you don't care what she does, you will love her forever.
She will hear you, and you will hear yourself, and in time, you will mean it, and she'll believe you. |
