| Re: Dog "challenging rank?" or just looking for attention
Thank you so much for all your great advice. I am persevering with putting Alfie on a lead when I have visitors, and putting in an extended down till he calms down. Hopefully it will work!
Fostermom: Your last sentence makes perfect sense! The more I do ignore Alfies jumping up etc, he has been getting worse - and I did wonder why... So, to start with, the more I ignore him the worse he may get until one day he 'clicks'? One of my other Rotties used to ignore people who didn't immediately fuss him - as if to say 'I'm ignoring you coz you are ignoring me'!
In every other way Alfie is super and as he is only 9 mths old I am sure that with patience and perseverence I can overcome this.
Thank you all so much - nice to know you are all there for advice. x |
