hey everyone!
I have a question. My new dog that I got recently (hazel) is very demanding. When I try to pet Maggie she always pushes her out of the way or tries to jump on me. How do I get Hazel to calm down, and let me pet Maggie?
I was prepared for this, but I am just not sure how to handle it. Maggie was and will always be my first dog.
Also Hazel will be in my room eating her food, than turned around and went out in the living room and tried to steal Maggie's food. Maggie is pretty submissive so she'll just kind of let her do it.
Last night I kept hazel in my room and put the food down for Maggie. That seemed to solve the problem. I just don't want Maggie to feel like she can't eat her food. Is there anything else I can do besides putting hazel in another room while maggie is eating?
Thanks for any suggestions you may have.
