My French Bulldog gets jealous

19 11:02:10

Question
I have a 3 yr old male Frenchie that I got when he was 7 weeks old. He is my baby. He has been around my moms 5 Chihuahuas since I got him, plus my boyfriends cat. They all get along fine, but he has to show off whenever I walk in the house from work. He will pounce to try and get them to play, or jump on my mom if she is holding one of them. He gets along with my boyfriends cat until she walks into the room after he has been lounging on my lap, being loved. He will jump down and usually chase her out of the room-never growling or showing teeth--just barking a little. Last night she must have fought back a bit because he had some of her fur in his mouth plus a cut on his underarm. But then 10 min later, they were sleeping in the same room.
Is there anything we can do to get him to relax and realize that we have plenty of love to go around for all the dogs?

Answer
Type alpha boot camp into your web browser and follow their suggestions. You need to establish pack order in your home very badly. You also need to walk your dog every single day. Power walking, not a leisurely stroll, at heel. Try to get him involved in obedience. And socialize him as MUCH as you can.
Your dog is working up to be dangerous. Nip it in the bud right now before it gets worse :).
good luck
