Hi everyone,
i just wanted to ask a few questions that i have been needing answers to for quite some while now and just didn't know where to find them. I have two dogs;
#1: Maltese x Chihuahua
#2: Maltese x Terrier.
Behaviours that i THINK are unhealthy;
- When i am sitting watching tv or something dog #2 will come up to me and tap me and 'dig' at me with her paw until i pat her.
- When dog #1 is sitting with me dog #2 will come up and play with dog #1 until she gets off of the couch, then most times dog number #2 will hop back into the spot she has moved the other dog from.
- dog #1 when we are out walking (she walks very well no problems there) but the minute she see's any one else walking tour way she goes into a frenzy mode and absolutely growls and barks until you think she's going to choke herself...
we have tried bringing out treats and making her focus on us when we see someone to take her attention away from the stress but that does not stop her. It's like she is super scared and trying to ward others off (even big dogs 10x bigger)
theres a few more issues but i will start here for now, if anyone could please help me! Thanks
