Judy, I've tried so many things with Jazzi. When we first got her I had her kennel sitting on top of Reuger's but I moved it on the floor when I realized how badly she treated him. There is some animal behavior about the boss being the highest.

If I let her outside first Jazzi will turn and wait for Reuger to come out and then she nips at him as he comes out so he's gotten where he won't go out if she's already out there. Then....if I hold Jazzi back so Reuger goes out first she whines and fusses while I hold her back and still nips at him when she runs by but not as bad as when she's already outside. I have tried scolding and saying no.

She likes to use her teeth. She's quick to come around when you first touch her and put her teeth on you like to say "I could have bit you!!" She doesn't bite because she does know better but she will sure make you think that she's going to. The kids are real wary of her even though they've never been bitten. She's very loving and cuddly with me and anyone that will make the effort to get to know her but she sure has me stumped on what to do to help poor Reuger. I have seen him get on to her when she tries to take his chewy thing so she does respect him at times.

At least it's made Glen appreciate Reuger a lot more!!!!! I keep telling myself that she's still a puppy (she'll be a year old in December) so maybe as she matures things will get better.......anyway I sure hope so.

I should mention that she's not ALL bad. We do enjoy having her even though she's difficult.
