| Jealousy... I need help! I'm hoping to get some help... I have 2 yorkie girls, Lola 2.5 yrs. & Lea 1.5yrs. Lola has always been a bit jealous being that she was with me first and spoiled. She was about 1 year when I brought Lea home and she was 15 weeks. I have noticed a change in Lola's jealous behavior and it getting progressivly worse. She started attacking when the chew toys came out and now she will attack occasionally over treats. This morning when we woke up Lea walked across the be to kiss me and Lola went crazy. Has anyone had this problem. It really brakes my heart because I love them both and always divide my attention equally. Any advice? |

| My Gracie is 9 months and my new puppy Bristol is 11 weeks. Gracie is extremely spoiled and jealous. At times she will play well with Bristol but other times she is pretty cranky and like yours she gets REALLY cranky when I try and have both Bristol and her in my arms snuggling at the same time trying to attack Bristol. We are working on it and I was hoping it would get better! We really try to give Gracie some alone time. Keeping my fingers crosed... |

| Competion among pack members is normal dog behavior. I have two myself, and what I do is pet them both at the same time, or let one lick you while the other one is being pet. Sometimes, I can play fetch with both at once, using different toys and they will ignor each other. Do not feel bad about giving one attention when the other one is momentarily ignored. It will happen, but as long as you love both and play with and cuddle both your Yorkies, they will most certainly both love you back many times over! |

| The first week I brought Lea, my new pup home Lola did not like her at all. I thought I made a big mistake. In a few weeks things were great. Just tell Bristol to hang in there...things will get better~ |

| I have three girls, never had a problem, I have establish my self to them as the pack leader, since the beginning when I saw any little behavior I will corrected, Melody just lately starting to be a little possessive of her daddyshe will not bite, growl or anything she just get in front and push away Phoebe or Shayna when daddy is give them attention, I think is daddy fault, because Melody is always in his arms when he is home lol, I have to tell him that he need to correct her before it gets any worse, but I don't think it will Melody is submissive temperament, but you never know

| Getting better. Still working on it. Gracie is like a jealous 2 year old! If I am giving Bristol attention she does what ever she can to get in my face and give me kisses. Like "look at me Mama-not her!" In the beginning if I had them both in my arms loving on them at the same time she would growl and nip. Bristol just wags her little tail. She is the most mild mannered and best behaved little thing! It has been several days since Gracie has been that naughty. They are now actually wrestling and playing together very well except for the occasional outburst from Gracie Belle. Gracie no longer nips and growls to take away any and all toys (even the new toys we purchased for Bristol) she just calmly walks up and takes them! Like I said-a 2 year old that doesn't share! We are making progress! On the other hand Bristol has brought out some very good qualities in Gracie but that is another thread for some time! |
