Jealousy Issues I brought home my new furbaby (Cooper) on Jan. 19th. My older dog wants absolutely nothing to do with him, and growls at him when he goes near her. She isn't harmful in any way towards him, just has a huge attitude when he is around. When he is on my lap, she comes over and tries to push him out of the way, and gets as close to my face as possible. Any advice on how to fix this issue?
Also, while Coop is usually with me all day at work, he seems to be more excited to see others then he ever does with me. Yesterday I left him home with my husband to see if it was just because he was with me all day, but when I got home yesterday it was like he didn't even care. I tested it a little bit. My husband and I sat the same distance apart from him and each called his name and he kept going back to my husband. When I pick my husband up from work he jumps out of my lap to run to him. These may just be jealousy issues of my own, but does anyone have an idea as to why he wants everyone else more than me? I take care of him, have him with me everyday, play with him..but the only times he comes to me when anyone else is around, even if I haven't been with him all day, is when he is tired.
