TinkerToy | 05-19-2005 07:42 AM | Crazy Tinker!! My Tinker is 1yr 2 mos. old, and has just started some new behavior. If I am in one room and my boyfriend is in another and I call his name Tinker goes nuts!! She barks like a guard dog. Then when he comes to me she barks at him, and now she just started snapping at him, but it is only when I call his name. If he were to walk towards me she just wags her tale. Also, if she hears a loud sound she will pop up and bark like crazy. I know this sounds normal, but if I get up she will stark barking at me, and she nipped my heel once, but I let her now that was not okay to do and she hasn't done that again. Part of me wants to say it is her protective side, but another wants to say she thinks she is dominant. Does anyone have any idea on what I should do or why she does this? Any advice is appreciated!! Thanks!! |
