How do I stop my puppy jumping all over my older dog?

Get them both neutered and keep them away from Viagra and enzyte

I have a 5 month old chihuahua girl dog. She is always fighting and biting on my Aussie who is 2 1/2 years old. He runs to me for dear life to get away from her. He nearly jumps up on my lap to get away. I also put her in the kennel (crate) when she does this a lot and she also sleeps there at night. I provide her with water in a dog bottle and a blanket for comfort and a pal (toy) to sleep with her. I also make sure that she goes potty when she wakes up or I do in the middle of the night and day also when she gets up from sleeping so that she does not go any where else in my apartment. She potties on the wee wee pads. Puppies are a lot of work but worth the effort. I love her so much. My aussie was 8 months old when I got him. My chihuahua is my first puppy ever. My dogs eat together. They love each other but one always seems to get jealous of the other. Whether it’s when I give them a treat or some love. My aussie does not like to share treats. He wants them all for himself and none for her. The same goes for the toys he does not like to share. She does not like it when he gets a lot of attention and she gets locked up for bad behavior. Sometimes she jumps on him and attacks him playfully of course when she comes out of the kennel. My vet has informed me that this will continue for a while until she grows out of puppyhood. I must be patient, understanding, and the chewing will get worse as well. I keep a teether in the freezer for her so that she can chew it when she gets aggressive with the biting and tell her No in a firm voice to associate what she is doing is wrong. So far all of this seems to be working. Good luck with your puppy and keep loving them. They are precious and a joy to have.

Hi. We’ve got a 6 year old Lab/Collie cross rescue dog who sounds like your westie - he’s a wimp who loves his cuddles. We’ve just got a English working cocker spaniel puppy (who’s 11 weeks old) and she likes nothing more than to wrestle with our older dog. This is a real pain and means we get no peace unless we crate her. In fact crate training may be the answer to your problem. If your pup isn’t already living in a crate, get her one- they love it as it’s like a den for them. They often whine and complain when they’re first put in them but as long as you ignore them and don’t give in they get used to it. As soon as the pup is showing a behaviour that you don’t like, for example jumping over your older dog you can tell her to stop, if she doesn’t she gets time out in the crate. This is what we’re doing with ours (unfortunately it generally ends up with the pup in the crate a lot!) Slowly the puppy is getting the message. The biggest problem is that another dog will always be more exciting to a puppy than us - hence the problem. If it is jealousy thing not sure what you can do. Dog obedience classes are always a god send if you can do the training as then your dogs should be more responsive to you. Not much use I know but definitely better than the previous guy.
