Finally, someone who understands what I have been describing! Thank you! So let me ask you this: I donāt want to punish Munson and keep him off the couch, so how about just training Sugar not to get up on couch?
Munson is 3 year old neutered male, laidback, loveable lump of sweetness. Sugar is 2 year old spayed female filled with anxiety and alpha craziness. She is also on Prozac because she is afraid of wind and sound of raindrops and birds chirping....has gotten better but used to be a real nut case...
Looking back, I think we used the same training methods on her that had worked on Munson, but because they have different temperaments, they haven't worked. Munson, like most, got better with age. Sugar has gotten worse because she needed more consistent training. Little things that we...
Ok, yes she does go straight for newcomer and starts jumping and biting. We are definitely going to have to keep her on a leash when people come into the house. And do as you advise about putting her in the crate. It also doesn't help that Munson, our other bulldog, goes racing to the door but...
We are starting to crate her for 20 minutes when she acts like this, but we are afraid to let her greet people who enter the house. Today, she leaped and grabbed the upper sleeve of a friend's shirt and left a mark on her arm. Suggestions?..
Sugar just finished puppy class and of course was a model pupil. At home, she can not restrain herself when family and friends enter the house. She doesn't just go for ankles and shoes but leaps up to the waist and locks down on shirttails, sweaters, coats. Needless to say these articles have...
I need everyone's advice about stopping Sugar's aggression toward Munson. Sugar is 6 months old and wakes up feeling cuddley and friendly, then it goes downhill. Munson is a one year old who is laid back and sweet. If Munson starts playing with a toy, Sugar begins by going for the toy, then...
I've just recently noticed that Sugar who is 5.5 months old seems to be marking in the house. Also, our neutered bulldog Munson seems more interested lately in sniffing her butt and has begun humping her. We planned on spaying her at 6 months. We didn't want her to go through a heat. Is she...
Our puppy Sugar is almost 5 months. She sleeps all night in her crate without any accidents. We take her out to potty at least every two hours during the day, but I still catch her squatting and peeing in different places in the house. We do have another bulldog who is one and a half who never...
Thanks everyone for the advice. I guess because it was 4 in the am when I originally posted I was unclear . Sugar eats 1.5 cups twice a day, but I am going to spread that to 3 times a day by giving a small meal with yogurt right before bedtime. My other bulldog slept through the night when he...
Sugar is 13 weeks and eats at 530 am and 6:30 pm. She goes to her crate to sleep around 11 pm but wakes up between 3 and 4 am. I take her out to pee but she cries when I put her back in crate because she is ravenous. She eats 3 cups of food twice a day. Any suggestions to get her to sleep...
