Help with my dogs jealousy
Hi all,
Hope someone here can help as I'm at my wits end over my dog.
i have a 3 year old Chocolate Lab but he has one MAJOR issue. He's so jealous.
I've had him as an 8 week old pup but he does not like anyone or anything near me. He's grown up with a Jack Russell and 3 cats buts if any of them jump on my lap or come near me he gets up from wherever he is (even if he's sleeping) and pushes them off or away. Even when I take him for a walk if another dog comes towards me he'll stand between us, if the dog does manage to get to me he'll come charging from wherever he is and push the dog away. He never barks or attacks them just pushes them away, smells their bits carry's on.
Here is my main problem. Me and my partner are moving in together he has a 15 week old pup who is the sweetest docile thing you'd ever meet. We decided they should meet on neutral territory so took them to the park. As soon as my partner and his dog walked up to us my dog just barked and chased him away, he has never done this. The poor pup was petrified and just sat down away from us.
I try and praise the dog if he does let someone stay on my lap saying things like good leave etc but he's just not getting it and I don't know why.
Any help would be great.
p.s sorry for the long post :)
