| Hi Indymom! Looks like it is time for you and your 2 year old to go back to basics- basic obedience that is. Enroll in some classes to help your pup remember her manners. Also- try reading a few dog behavior books- my personal favorite is "The Dog Listener: Learn How to Communicate with Your Dog for Willing Cooperation " by Jan Fennell. I beleive that you'd get a lot of that behavior to stop by reinforcing that you are the "alpha" in the relationship- the means for doing that is outlined in Ms. Fennels book. Sounds like right now Paige feels that she is the boss (alpha dog). SGood luck with your pup!

| She is doing what is called "resource guarding" which is normal dog behavior, but not acceptable to the uprights. Jean Donaldson has a book called "Mine" that is an excellent resource for this type of behavior. In the meantime you may wish to trade up for something more valuable to her. Until you get this under control, which may takes weeks, don't fight her on this as she is giving you all the correct warning signs. It is up to you to listen to what she is telling you. |
