Ok, so I just wanted to throw this out here to see if anyone else dealt with this and/or just different ideas.
Fergus is absolutely obsessed with Didgie as in he is almost constantly, if in the same room with her trying to drag her into play (literally). He'll walk over and just take ahold of her scruff and walk away with her, he'll back her into a corner trying to get her to play with him, he'll throw himself all over trying to solicit play and he won't back off no matter how many "Knock it off" signals she gives.
I haven't been just letting it go, when he starts doing it I separate him from her, body block or squirt bottle but it hasn't been making any kind of dent in his thick brain. Half the time we'll be on the couch and I'll look over and Didgie will be laying there trying her hardest to ignore the black and white doofus laying on the ground trying to gnaw on any body part of hers he can reach.
She doesn't mind playing with him but he's just incessant.
So ideas? I want to figure out a good system to hopefully be able to redirect and lead to him getting the idea of inappropriate molesting of Didgie. I'll be the first to admit I probably haven't been completely consistent in my handling of it. Sometimes it's me getting up and removing him completely, sometimes it's just me going "FERGUS! Let GO of her!" until he does and so on but it's just ALL the time and really getting annoying.
