Hello, and hope to find you well tonight.

I am not a dog trainner, but have had many dogs and still do, at this time we have 11 and one of them is in the house with me.

But during treatment, I had a Jack Russell, he was mine, and believe it or not, he knew when I was down for the day, he knew when I felt better or bad, and he was soo soo protective of me.

I strongly believe that animals especially dogs knows when their masters are ill.

Sorry to hear that he beat up this other dog, but like I said your baby is getting overprotective of you since he feels you are sick.

Hope this helps.

sound like they know you are not feeling well.they are fighting for power(pack order)the dominate will be next to you and the other will always challange.try 1 on 1 side and the other on the other side.when all fails i use a water spray bottle ,that usually settles them down. i have 2 male german shepherds,a male siberian huskey and a femake rottie.they all have there moments,but in the end they know i am the alpha(the boss) you can try to google if this gets worse.good luck....

A tv show called the dog whisperer addresses dog behavioral issues. Cesar Milan
is the host. Nothing he cannot fix with dog issues. Airs in the evenings stateside.

I don't know about what's happening with your dogs but the one pictured is really cute. Good luck I hope you work it out.

Nothing weird about that.
My Maggie Mae never left my side while I did treatment. She would get in my face and lick and lick and lick. Like she was trying to take the sick and fever away.
She would not allow anyone near me.
Yes, your pets have another sense that would probably have but aren't smart enough to channel it. If we were, the world would be a much better place.
The dominatation thing. Got the same thing going on here right now with the new pup and the relatively new adult eskimo. Pup, Lucy has taken to me and she won't let Nook, older eskimo we got about three months ago...anywhere near me.
It is causing some problems. I take each aside at varies times of the day and give them my undivided attention and let them know I love them both.
The pup bit Nook on the face yesterday when he came up for me to pet him. I popped the pup on the nose. Hurt Nooks feelings so bad. It's been hard to get him to smile.
If you find out what to do, would you let me know. I'm at a lose about it too.
Love,
Tasmoe

I think Heppie has hit the nail on the head;- I think your bitch is telling the other dog that she is the boss! I think she has decided that you are her property too, and the other dog isn't allowed near you.
The fact that she has suddenly started jumping up next to you in bed too, could be her challenging you as leader of the pack. Are you a bit of a softy with her? I know it's hard not to be, but you do need to be firm with dogs - they need to know who's the boss.
You need to stop her coming up on your bed like this, unless you tell her she can, and if she will get off when you tell her to.
As for the 2 dogs, there isn't a great deal you can do, as nature will always take over, and your bitch is just showing her dominance. All I can advise is that if your bitch tries to take it any further than the odd warning growl, at the other dog, that you scold her. Also making sure you give both of them the same amount of attention could help smooth things over, and feeding them together, in the same place may help ease some of the tension.
Which of the dogs is the oldest - the agressor, or the victim? And is the other dog a bitch too?
If so I would advise you get them both spayed ASAP, a dog and a bitch will usually be ok together, but when keeping two dogs of the same sex together it is advisable to have them done, as it does help cut out some of this kind of behaviour.
Hope some of this helps, and you get the problem sorted, sounds like warring dogs is the last thing you need!
Take care ;-)

I have 3 dogs now, one I adopted and 2 my son brought home.
No dog handler, but I cage all three seperate so they are protected and can rest. I feed each in the morning for now from my hands easy with two dogs food in hand for each, 3rd eats from bowl and they swtich off. When I let them out I give them all attention switching off hands to pat each and letting each get the idea that they do not have exclusive access to me. I also disipline when they act out either verbally or with my hands pushing way, stopping domination as much as I can. If I thought one was going to hurt the other I would put on leash and muzzle. I do not leave them to play alone at this time, I must be there. All three are fixed two females and one male. They learn you lead pack and both are accepted by you. good luck.

I'm sorry to hear about this-I know how close you are to your baby-remember I have boxer too that I bottlefed from birth...they are very protective dogs and can tell when you feel bad-she is also the dominant one which is the natural pecking order of dogs...glad you are asking trainers; hopefully you will find good solution soon...must be hard when you are feeling ill dear! Take care, will check out your JI's to see how ya are!
