Well I have great news. The first intervention went amazingly well. I heard Quincy barking, so I knew Justin was here. I went upstair's and my mom had all ready put him up. I said this ain't happening. I took Justin in the other room and laid down the law. Then I went and let Quincy out and held him. He barked a couple of time's, and I told him to stop. He did. What happened next I think was the key to everything. Justin's girlfriend was here. She wanted to hold the dog. So I gave him to her. He was sniffing Justin all over her. He was being really observitive as to where Justin was. But he wasn't freeking out. I waited awhile, then I had Justin give him a treat. Quincy was reluctant, but did take it. Then I had Justin give him one each time he walked by.
At one point Quincy was on his back getting a belly rub from Justin's girlfriend. Justin walked down the hall, and Quincy didn't budge. Justin gave him a treat. To me, Quincy was in his most vulnrable state, and didn't freek out.
I know it's not over, but I think it's off to a good start. Quincy never barked again, or showed any aggretion.
Here's a pic of Quincy watching Justin down the hall. |
