Poppy is being a nightmare....

Hubby did that last night and she did behave a bit better after.

She's got the best temperament you know, but is just sooo naughty! It makes it hard to tell her off.

awww I hope she passes this little phase quickly!! Give her a nummy bully and time to herself. Good Luck!!

Maybe time alone might help her but be careful because you don't want her to associate being in the crate as a negative thing. Also, if you are going to do it after she's been naughty, I wouldn't give her a chew in their either lol because then she might think if she plays up, it means she'll get a treat and peace and quiet to enjoy it!

I guess its a very tough one but I hope you can find a way to balance the two! Maybe pen her off somewhere quiet?

Hormones are a PAIN to deal with! I'm sure that's what it is with Poppy. There are times (when hormones are wonky) when we can't keep Maya & Mari together because Maya is so in your face & Mari is tired of taking it so she'll go after Maya. I can't blame Mari--I feel the same way. Doesn't stop Maya from sticking her nose right back in Mari's behind though!...which is why Mari just doesn't take it anymore. LOL

I'd try & knock her down a few pegs. Make her work for treats, chews, food. Don't leave chews around where she can get them. Don't allow her on the furniture. Kinda remind her where she stands in the pack (waaaay belong the humans!).

I hope she snaps out of it...
