When is too Much? Trixie has a new friend, a 10 week old Jack Russell. Although I don't think Trixie considers him a new friend... The little Jack is teething AND they are going through some dominance issues (as he lives where I work and Trixie has been going with me to work forever, so she considers it her second home). Anyway, the little Jack is constantly running after Trixie and biting her; biting her face, her hind legs and pulling her hair. Trixie will yelp and she has some spots where he broke her skin! How far can we let it go? Until what point can the dogs work it out or at what point do we need to step in with either discipline or to pull them apart? Any experiences? |
I would be stepping in if skin was broken and yelping is going on. Playing is one thing but I think this is a little more then that. I would get between them and tell the jack no... i have to do this with my dog cause he won't leave the cat alone... it is slowly working... he knows I won't allow him to get at the cat. |
I used to have the same problem with Kaiser, my boyfriends doby, and Maizee. He is about 5 months younger than her so he's still in the big playful stage. He thinks he is just playing but he broke her skin once too. I flipped out after that. I didn't like it in the first place, but that really pushed it then. Maizee is FREAKED OUT of Kaiser and will go no where near him now, not that I would let her even if she wanted to. Maybe it will work when the puppy grows a little and settles down, but I would try to keep them separated now, because I didn't with Maizee and she's scared of other dogs now too. . . :( |
Alright, thanks for the input! I really have a hard time with the puppy, because I know he's still a puppy. But he's already as big as Trixie and his teeth are like shark teeth. So I'll keep them seperated until he can play nicely! |
