At a loss... I just dont know how to curb her behavior. Lanas becoming a B*&ch. She believes she owns me. And she just doesnt want to share.I did this to her by adoring her and catering to her so m uch, now Ive got to fix it. My dogs a bigger spoiled brat than my kids ever thought of being. Ive started making her sleep in her crate instead of my bed(I miss her),eat only at scheduled times and has to sit and relax before being served, and I dont let her have exclusive rights to my lap. I dont know what to do about her. I cant put her in her crate when she gets growly because where not near it. When your in petsmart and she growls at everyone how do I treat her? Any other advice? |
You seem to be doing all the right things. These little one's are truly bossy and want what they want. It she growls while out just repremand her telling her no growling. Keep up the things your doing and she will be ok. She just needs to mature some. Good luck, |
When she growls have you tried getting her to sit and stay with a treat. Sometimes all you need to do is re-direct them. |
Good Morning All, I just joined YT a few minutes ago and are looking for some interesting people to talk to about my little pup....his name is Bryan and he will be 12 weeks tomorrow. I picked him up on Saturday from Philadelphia Airport. My Boyfriend and I just brought a home in NJ and the first time he went away on business for 2 nights I almost lost my mind so we decided to get a yorkie...I love Bryan and we got out to Petsmart everyday, but at night he crys when i put him in his crate......I've been told to ignore him but it's very hard....any suggestions? |

Alright this might sound really gross to you but go to the bottom of your hamper find the dirtiest, smelliest piece of clothing and put it in his crate with him at night, also keep the crate near you on the side of your bed on the floor. |
I've been told that.....also told to ignore him and he will stop crying....I noticed that each night it's getting better, but i feel so bad |

she said that when ever your dog growls or snaps at people while you are holding him/her then as soon as he/she dose it then you put them on the floor and say really loudly uh uh like a no but with your noise ... and you can also praise your dog while someone is approching if he/she is not barking or growling... I hope this helps? |
It usually means that your dog thinks she is alpha over you. That's why she's protecting you. You need to let her know you are dominant. Don't let her go through doors before you, eat before you, etc. and the other things you are trying. There is a good book about this called "The Dog Listener". Very informative. Jan Fennell the Dog Listener & Amichien Bonding - Dog Training Maybe you can get some more ideas there. Hope this helps! You can also get her books on Amazon. That's where I got mine. |
Some of the things the book suggests is do everything on YOUR terms, not hers. Don't pay attention to her when she runs up to you and wants on your lap (even if you don't mind). Wait and then go get her when you want her and cuddle etc. just not when she asks for it. (hard to do, I know). If she brings you a ball to throw don't do it. Wait until she is doing something else and then get the ball and throw it for her. Basically make it so everything is your idea, when you want it, etc. Not what she wants when she wants it. |
Try and pick up a copy of cesar millan's book "becoming the pack leader" it has helped me a lot....if you are stressed or mad when you are trying to correct your baby, they will feel this...use calm assertive energy...a stern voice (don't yell) best of luck to you |
