Health & WellbeingJealousy? I've had my Chihuahua for about 2 yrs. He's a big mama's boy, utterly my shadow. About a week ago, we adopted a shelter rescue kitten. Every time our kitten gets attention, our dog will get in between us, claw my hand so i stop petting him
Hi and thank you for your post on Boop by Petco! Oh my! This sounds like a conumdrum! This can be very common occurance in dogs that suddenly have a new house mate. Here's a strategy that can help. Next time you are trying to give Milo the cat some love on the sofa, ask your pup to sit, stay, or lay down. Give treat when he does and then give Milo some love. Immediatley come back to your pup and give him a treat and love on him. Rinse and Repeat many times over the course of a few days. Each time, spend a little more tme with Milo before going back to the pup. I hope this helps and best wishes to you!
