How can I stop my dog annoying other pets?

My dog is normally well-behaved around my guinea pigs, but just recently she has started snapping at them, and she won’t leave them alone, iven if they are inside or out. I keep them in for the winter (in my room) but she has now learned how to open the door while I am away. I just don’t know how to keep her away from them!

Answer #1

Well, unless you’re supervising her every minute of every day, then you best keep the piggies in a place where they are out of temptation. Every instinct in your dog says that these little piggies are “prey”. It’s far easier to protect them by making them inaccessable, than to “train” instinct out of another animal.
