Their two adored and adorable Cockerpoo sisters fight – but also get on fine much of the time. Lulu tries to control Elsie. Pushed – Elsie stands up for herself. About six months ago occasional squabbles between the two began to develop into full-blown fights which now are regular, even Read more…
I had just arrived. Without warning, Bella came through the door and attacked Poppy. Fortunately she was wearing a harness and with very fast reflexes the lady lifted her off the floor and onto the chair.
Bella
I thought I had carefully choreographed my arrival. Knowing Bella’s aggression towards older miniature Dachshund Poppy had been escalating over the past few days, I was to settle in the room with Poppy – they would have her on lead. Then, also on lead, Bella was to join us.
Unfortunately it happened too quickly and the two dogs met in the doorway and Bella exploded. (more…)
Are hormones to blame?
Dylis
For nearly a year the two dogs had been the best of friends. They had their first spat around the first time when both had come into season but everything settled down again.
The family adopted Tibetan Terrier Dylis about a year ago to join Sybil, a Goldendoodle, age 4. Over the past six weeks the two dogs have become increasingly aggressive towards one another with the younger Dylis the instigator. Around the same time Sybil had another season but it’s unclear whether Dylis did also. Very possibly her hormones are troubling her. (more…)
Nellie isn’t very happy. This is despite being treasured, along with their other two tiny dogs, Luna and Sandy. Nellie is a two-year-old Pomeranian, the last to join their little dog family of three. Luna is a Chihuahua Pomeranian mix and Sandy a Chihuahua. Jealous. Luna is Nellie’s problem. Tiny Read more…
The two females have had several minor fall-outs over the past year, but during the last few weeks things have escalated with the two dogs fighting in ernest. Three big fights in three days. Blood has been drawn and the owners injured splitting them up. Once this door is opened Read more…
She now growls, snarls and lunges at their other dog. Barack Obama may be finding his two Portuguese Water Dogs, Bo and Sunny, a bit easier – he probably has a resident dog-nanny (the dogs even have their own Facebook page!). I believe Bo is male and Sunny female so they won’t Read more…
Females fighting – nipping things in the bud before they escalate to something worse I have just been to another family that really pulls together where their dogs are concerned. They have a situation with two females – a Labradoodle and a Rottie, both a year old. The two dogs got Read more…
All went very well indeed until one day about six months ago. The two dogs would share the same bed, play and walk together. They fed in the same room and there were absolutely no problems until, seemingly out of the blue, Dolly went for Flossie out in the garden. Read more…
I could hear the three little dogs as I got out of my car down the road! With the exception of a German Shepherd, I have recently been to a run of little dogs, and one thing many of them have in common is excessive barking! The problem with all Read more…
One needs to run a ‘tighter ship’ with multiple dogs if things are not to be chaotic. A chaotic atmosphere is troubling to some dogs – just as it is with children, and the behaviour of the 5-year-old Cocker named Jigs is evidence of this. Considering they have eleven dogs Read more…
