i need help Help...my husband brought home another shih tzu now I have a male already don't get me wrong I love the breed but this female she attacks my momo and I just can't stand it. If I go to pet my momo she attacks him if I go near him she attacks I just can't get her to stop I give her ad much love and attention as him. What should I do? I want to keep her but when the fighting is drawing blood I have put them in rooms away from eachother walked them together I've tried everything what should I do. |
Oh no! Is your male neutered? Is the female spayed? How old are your pups? Where did your dh get the female? Could she have come from a situation to encourage the aggressiveness? Sorry so many questions? Just trying to get the whole picture. :) |
Is this Shelby acting this way? :( I so enjoyed her videos. I thought you were looking into getting a Yorkie, guess hubby had other plans in mind huh? :) |
That's the thing hes fostering her till his sister finds her a home. I want to keep her here but I don't know how can I when all she does is attacks. He says this is a good way to see how we can handle two dogs. But I don't want her here anymore I don't want to keep here in a kennel I don't want momo in My room all day. Either I am very stressed about this. |

Can you talk to your husband and have him make other arrangements with your sister-in-law? |
I have if we can't keep her she will go to the pound and honestly I am stuck I wouldn't put my baby in the pound so how I can do that to her? Its sad enough that my sis in law is getting evicted I guess must question is what would you do if u had no other options. shes a really good dog when shes not around other dogs. She listens shes great with kids.. |
In this case, I think you should seek a rescue to surrender her to. She will be guaranteed a wonderful home while your Momo will not have to be in danger or isolated. Would that be something you would consider? She would be given excellent care and attention all while a perfect forever home was being found. |
im going to have to look it up and see if i can find one willing to take her thanks :) |
wow... I know this must be hard. I love shih tzu also. I have one, and he is the sweetest dog to his family there is. He doesn't like strangers at all. Before I got Remy I wanted another shih tzu and would go onto rescue sites to look... many are listed as not getting along with other dogs and should not be places in homes with children. I think the females maybe more difficult than the males. I will say.. Bailey- the one I talked about above -- has improved a lot. It took time. I also have a lasha who had a very .. independent almost aggressive personality -- we had to get really tough with him. Think, it is like children, they want to be bossed, they want limits... crates are not as bad as we view them. I don't crate mine now.. but have when needed in the past. The pup is not adjusting well to you home, could you get a trainer or maybe advise from your vet on how to help her? Maybe some calming drops.. or thunder shirt to calm her? I wish you the best.. do what you can. If you give her to rescue be sure you have done what you can and can give her with a clear heart. I know there is someone who would love her. .. if I lived closer I would give it a try. (I need another dog like a hole in the head right now:eek:) |
Thanks so much for the advice. I am trying everything shes so great with kids and its so weird she does well with my grandmothers dog but not mine. (I'm trying to get her more socialized) shes does great with them. Its confusing behaviour she can't get along with my momo but other dogs yes my family seems to think because since she was a baby she was the only dog maybe that's how she likes it |
It may just take a little time, when I brought Sassy into the family of 3 Yorkies they hated her. I was scared to leave her with them. She bosses the boys now and picks on Tessie, the other female who was the alpha dog. Sassy bites on Tessie occasionally now but i had her spayed last week and she is doing better. The other 3 already spay/neutered. I can understand you not wanting ti give her up but you don't want your dog hurt. |
When we rescued Oliver in December from the back of our drug store he was only 6 weeks old. We were lucky because he fit right in with our other 4 dogs and now they're best friends. I think if you give this dog some time it might work out. I wish I lived closer to you because I love shih tzus almost as much as I love yorkies. We have a yorkie and and shorkie half yorkie and half shih tzu and two basset hounds. I would love to take her in. |
