Hi All,
My 2 year old Pug Tina has become increasingly jealous of her brother Hooie. I know that female Pugs are a bit more headstrong than males, but this goes way past just that. She snaps at him if he gets the toys first if they are playing fetch with me, she snaps at him if he sniffs her treat/bone/goodie that she is eating at the time, snaps at him if he gets his ears cleaned first, if he isn’t ready to go inside the house…. It's getting so bad that he has given up playing with me when she is involved. I try to be very fair, and give love equally to both of my dogs but it seems like it’s never enough for her. She also tries her best to get in the way of any affection I give to Hooie. I am starting to feel bad for the little guy because Ms. Bossy won't let him do anything!
Any advice is appreciated.
Oh, and here she is in all her bratty glory!
TIA!
