pug puppies

Question

Answer
Hi Nicole;
Somebody thinks she is going to be the queen!!!
Little dictator lady there. She needs to be taught that YOU are the alpha, not her.
When she attacks the others, chew her little butt out and put her in time out.
That is what I do with my little Lhasa.
His name is Maximillian, bcause he moven in here ate 6 eweks old, and decided he was going to rule the place. This is NOT Mexico, and I am the dictator here.LOL
He is 8 years old, and I still have to threaten him with time out every once in a while.
Especially with the australian Shepherd that was 1 year when we got Max, and he took over that puppy like he was it's mother.
Rowdy didn't, and still doesn't like me to even correct his little darling, so Max would treat him like dirt, if I didn't keep him shaped up.LOL
I put them in the smallest bathroom for about a half hour, after a darned good chewing out and telling them,"You don't do that !!! I don't allow it.!!! you go to time out"
and there I put the ofender to lie on the bathmat and contemplate where they messed up.
After a few times in time out, I only hav to say. "MAX!!! Do you want to go to time out?"
And he stops acting like a jerk and straightens up.
This is time to get them spayed, if they aren't alrady.
She is coming into womanhood, and deciding sh is going to be the alpha and bos the whole pack. You have to just trin her out of this.
An obedience class would help a lot.
I would take her.
Petsmart. Petco and Man's Best Friend have good group classes on weekends.
You could go to class with the one, and train the others at home. Then you would have five well behaved children, and little "Princess" would develope some manners and get put in her place.
This is not terribly strange. It is just what happens in all packs ( families) they are pack animals, like humans are, and they have to have an alpha ( paren) and beta ( big sister/brother, uncle/aunt) that is in charge when the parent is gone.
Yiu just have to train them about who is the mom and who are the little kids.
