Hi all,
Haven't been on here for ages as all going well with my little Rosie. She has turn't out a little darling and I'm so lucky to have her.
Just to digress a little-she, at last, eats very well and does actually clear her bowl now after all the trials to get her to eat. She is still only small but she's a happy little thing.
She is now 18 months old - very obedient, collects a brings my slippers and his socks, one at a time and is very loving and quiet and very good & still makes us laugh but.........
She has taken it upon herself to growl quite nastily at OH for no reason (or so we think).
He always gets up & lets her out in the morning, she sits on his lap for a cuddle in the morning before I get up and they have toast together. When we eat, at the table or on settee, she has her head on his knee just in case he drops something (I've always said not to feed her but he takes no notice!! - he thinks it's cute), which he often does. She follows him around and sits with him as well.
The problem lies in once I'm up - if we kiss & cuddle- she creates with screaching and jumping between us. Yes, she's jealous I know but she has now started to growl quite nastily at him if I'm nearby. Her tail is wagging and he strokes her nicely and speaks softly but she's doing it more often now. She has never growled at me & lets me do anything to her.
I have told her 'no' and to be nice but not sure if I should say anything but I'm so afraid she will bite one day as she is warning him about something.
He said that if she 'went for him' then she would have to be put down as she should never bite her owner so of course, it causes rows.
She is such a loving dog, cuddles like a baby and can't get near enough to me when we cuddle but if he walks in the room, she jumps off and growls and moans.
I mentioned the noises she makes with my breeder and she said, she's just speaking (moaning) but |I'm not too sure.
I know that if I discourage her to growl - she could just bite but not sure how to deal with it at the mo....any advice would be appreciated
