I'm going to try to explain this w/o blabbering on and on, we'll see if I succeed.
Lily is 1 year 8 months old, she is potty-trained (as long as the doggy door is open
) and is a very sweet girl towards people (even shy for the most part). We have 3 other dogs (another yorkie, Tristan, & 2 boxers) and she gets along well with them also. The problem I am asking about is her being aggressive towards them and other dogs when she wants to play. She sounds very mean and jumps on them and other dogs to try to get them to play. I KNOW she's not being mean and does not mean it in an angry way, she just wants them to play w/ her. It's not a big deal w/ our dogs because they'll either ignore her or play w/ her. The problem is w/ other dogs. I took her to the softball fields one time to play w/ my friend's dog and she barked, growled & jumped on this other dog to the point of scaring him. I would tell her no, back her away, etc. but she just ignored me. Finally, I just had to take her away and sit by ourselves while she whined the whole time because she wanted to play. She doesn't know how to play but I'm not sure how to teach her. I want to take her to the dog park but not if she's just going to jump all over every other dog there!
Here's a picture of her cuteness.
