Jealousy

Dogs, like men and women, can become jealous when they feel they might have to share treats and attention. They want full attention and love from their owner. It is sometimes call, possessive behavior in dogs. It’s important to incorporate the person you’re dating in your dog’s regular activities to prevent competition and promote compatibility.

Your dog will welcome your love interest at the front door with excitement when it has accepted your love match! But, after several months of dating if your dog doesn’t warm up, you might want to check out the personality traits of your breed with your potential mate to find out if happily forever after is in your future.

How to overcome that?

It is important that you must start to become the dog’s leader and regaining control. Most possessive behavior is caused by dogs thinking that they have a right to defend ‘their’ property from you or anyone else. As their owner and leader you are the best person to ensure they don’t think like that.

To overcome this behavior you need to use brains rather than brawn to achieve good and permanent results. Always remember, never give into them when they over demand things. You still give them the attention and love they want but only where and when you decide to.
