| Judi - This conversation is very interesting. I am beginning to think my dog sees me as a littermate and my husband as the Alpha. Is this bad? Do we BOTH need to be alpha? I am trying to be her leader, but she does odd things only to me. If she is chewing on something and happy as a clam I will get up and start emailing and such. When she sees me on the computer (not paying attention to her) she growles and barks. When my phone rings and I am talking on the phone, she will come over and do the same. YIKES! But my husband can ignore her just fine and she doesn;t care. When she growles at me I always tell her "NO." or I ignore her. She does listen to me though and follows my commands the same she does with my husband. I am just noticing these differences and want to nip them in the bud ASAP. She is 12.5 weeks. |
