I suggested it because I wanted everyone to know that I was considering all the options that I could think of. The reason I suggested it was because I am afraid there might be a psycological reason for her behaviour. I really like the dog and I know that she is confused and probably worried that she will move again. I really don't want that. As far as I can tell she has had 3 homes in a little over 6 months. It's time for her to have a happy loving home and I would really like it to be ours. Also, I put my request for help in this section because the most readers are here and I wanted to get the most input. I have gone to a couple of sites where I might be able to get some instructions on how to properly deal with her behaviour. I joined last night and have already gotten 2 good suggestions which I will use and see how they will turn out. I think she wants to be the alpha female in the pack but that spot is taken by me. I just need to know how to deal with a problem of this size. Most little things are easy to handle but how do you make a dog understand they can't just kill babies just because they aren't hers? See, if she were the alpha female in a pack in the wild, she would be the only one having babies. The other females wouldn't be allowed. So I have to disabuse her of the notion that she can become the alpha female in my pack. Sylvia
