Anyone else have a jealous baby? I havea tiny 6 ball of fluff and my new boyfriend has a 100 drooler. My little pup gets so jealous, whenever the big guy is around. She tries to guard me. And while my boyfriend’s dog is pretty docile I don’t want this to turn into a probably especially when it’s my boogerhead that’s causing problems. What do I do? Usually Lizzy is so good. This has never been a problem before...

RE: Help
I can only assume that "6 ball of fluff" and "100 drooler" are supposed to mean something. For the life of me, I can't figure out what. I don't know, a 6 ball in billiard is green, context tells me you're having trouble with an overprotective dog, and putting these together tells me you're saying you have a green dog, which I find extremely unlikely given what I know about mammalian biology and your blindness?

i hope Lizzy isn’t green. From what I know she’s white-ish/blonde.

I got that you have a 6 pound dog and that the other person has a 100 pound dog. Dogs don't associate size with dominance, at least from what I've seen with domestic dogs. We have a rental house, and the tenants have a little pot licker that masses maybe 7 pounds. It yaps like a real bad boy, and is all over the screen door when I come over to make repairs or do maintenance on the house. He also barks like a mindless automaton whenever I get within some sort of self-programmed distance from his owner. I just laugh. I could punt that dog 50 yards, easily, though I would never do such a thing.

I have no recommendation as to what to do about getting the little dog to leave the big dog alone. Maybe get the "Dog Whisperer" to visit you. At least maybe you'll get paid while having the problem solved?
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

That Cesar dude?! No way, I heard he’s a total animal abuser.

Time for the doggie version of CBT.

When the other dog starts to approach give her a positive reward before the possessive behavior starts (treats/affection/toys,..........), let her know that when 100 approaches good things happen. You'll need to over do it in the beginning and then gradually it won't be needed as much.

You can also use negative therapy. The most we do is crate the trouble maker for a short time just before the trouble would start and then reward when they get released. If the bad behavior returns, back into the crate.

It may take quite some time to see a lasting change. Understand that for some dogs it never completely goes away and you'll have occasional flare ups.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
