Togetherness for dogs that are difference sizes is not always good - plus your little one has been a single pup most of its life - imagine how confused she must be.
I'm sure others will come forth with their help, but you need to decide what it is exactly that she needs to work on.
Glad you found YT! |
Thank you! I'm glad I found this website too. I can learn a lot.
We failed with turning her into a social dog. Socialization isn't strictly a
trick, but you have faith we can help her with this? It'd be such a relief!
Yeah, I can see her confusion, and jealousy haha
I totally understand this.

I agree there- But the owners literally showed up outside of the building my mother works in, shoved Lola into her arms and were like "Here's your puppy! Ok thnx bye!!!". She supposes they were desperate to get rid of the pups because they torn apart their house, but, to be fair to the pups, they're just babbuhs, they're playful, they're learning, and this couple left them alone for like two weeks to visit Europe.
Thank you! I'll check it out right now.
