1 dog vs 2

[judy]

That's a nice idea Linds! A doggie day once each month sounds like that's enough for Layla to handle right now. After a while, if she becomes more social, you can think again about getting another dog. Or, not....

I have the same problem as you do Diana. Annie has taken over ownership of me, and Max has been very tentative about comng to me. Females are usually more dominant than males anyway. He is my first furbaby though, and I realized just a few weeks ago that Annie is old enough now for me to push her away so that Max can come to me. It's slowly working. I don't know if he will ever feel as comfortable coming to me as he used to. He will not fight back with her. I realized that I can train her not to be so bossy when it comes to me. She is over a year old already, so I don't feel bad about pushing her out of the way. .

He dominates the food, and I don't reallty know what else. She follows him around wherever they are though. I think they have pretty much everything else worked out. He seems not to want to share the pee pads, and if I don't change them every other day, he goes on the floor near them. I have washable pads, so it's not really a problem.

Maybe little Jazzi needs a little talking to by Mama! Is she old enough yet?
