One thing you might discuss with your friend is if she is giving the wrong message when her Westie acts out. Is she petting her dog for being naughty. This sounds like a silly question but it happens all the time. It sounds to me like she may be trying to tell her older dog that everything is alright and you are still # 1, but what she is telling her in dog terms is that , you are a good girl to be mean to that puppy.
Most of the time it is people that are making the mistakes or at least allowing them by not knowing what the right thing to do . I hope they can get everything worked out, I would hate to see the little kid get hurt. |
