We just adopted the sweetest 6 month old pittie cross puppy. My older dog, Ginger (about a year old) has started being extremely affectionate and barges her way in front of the Puppy whenever we try to pet her, or when she tries to snuggle with us. Is this behavior that needs to be corrected, or will she realize that we aren’t going to forget about her on her own?
There hasn’t been a change in how much we play with, talk to, pet, hug or kiss Ginger. We give them both equal attention.
Give them both hugs and cuddles at the SAME time. Its not too hard with two.. I have 3 and its a little more difficult , I need an extra arm . But we do a group hug and it works out fine.
PS. it is normal for the older dog to feel jealous too for a little while, as there is a pecking order it will be sorter out by them eventually.
