- Lily (British Bulldog) & Shy (American Bulldog X)
It started from her going for Shy just because there was a bit of food that girls didn't finish in the floor ,most probably fell from Lily's mouth as she ears like a piggy
While food is Lilys trigger i hand feed them from one bowl that i was holding on my lap- having them in sit position at all times on either side of me -to prevent resource guarding ,this os going pretty smooth ,but after feeding Lily hair is raised up -she look like a persian cat that went through tumble dryer
And she tries to go for Shy (it first happened yesterday morning)
I tend to stop her in her tracks have her on sit to calm her down a bit
Shy is pretty much a submissive dog ,she will not fight back unless she is really hurt
I want to stop this behaviour while shark is young , so i was wondering what other (positive reinforcement) tips you could give me .
Im thinking that Lily might soon come into heat maybe that is why shes getting a grumpy girl , not sure if her eyes have anything to do with it
Once lily have her 5 min to calm down everything is going great
Edit: forgot to add that Lily is not trying to bite Shy more like trying to scare her off (if this makes any sense )
