i'm the cause. now what do i do about it. right now i have her on leash and harness now so if she does aggress i can instantly stop it and give her a time out away from Bentley.
she's sleeping sweetly on my lap with Bentley close by us. figures!!
so it has to be the hormones. has to be the pending baby. and she doesn't do this with DH ever he says she's never done this around him alone and also it did seem to start around when i got pregnant. i'm the cause so that's at least a start.
now help me fix her and fix me. |
OMG! We were having a similar problem with Rosie and Mikki when DH comes home. As soon as he would come home both girls get really excited. And then Mikki would go at Rosie for no reason at all. Then of course the fight was on because Rosie does not back down.
We have stopped it by having DH pick up both of them at the same time as soon as he comes in. That way they both are getting the attention at the same time. Before he would let them spin and bark while talking to them. That was giving them to much time and Mikki the opportunity to get her cheap shots in. Now, they are calmer because he picks them up immediately.
This seems to have worked for us. Just an idea!
