bsabbot | 03-15-2007 10:30 AM | alright, guys-i know this is an old thread... but i'm desperate. I just posted about my 2 girls not getting along-it's been since dec and i have a 2 yr old and a 5 mo old who just fight and argue and the puppy is the dominant one, which makes it difficult. she is VERY headstrong-do their personalities change? she never gives my other dog a break :(- my 2 year old is very submissive and probably asking for it-but she has scabs on her her from being attacked, so i started separating them when i realized thy werent actually playing-that the 2 yr old was seriously not wanting the puppy at all... i just wonder, my 2 yr old acts like she's 20 (old hag) and the puppy acts like she doesnt get it-wants to play rough all the time, she always has to knwo what the other dog is doing and pushes her out of the way for food/water/toys/me etc.... I just wonder if 3 mo's is enough time to adjust-is this the way it's going to be... or are their personalities going to change?----I am so so frustrated... this little puppy is sure different -she is just resistant and definately a leader-which is good but not when it comes to the other dog.... I just get so frustrated. we've been in training classes -separation-reintroduction, both are spayed-feed separately, everything i can think of-and i end up having to keep them sep most of the time and putting away all the toys or they fight-and it's just miserable..... i got the puppy so my older one would have a buddy-and i just ended up creating MORE work for myself |
