My dog is to spoiled ?

Question

she wont share her toys with my new puppy

and i even got her my new puppy toys and she thinks there hers

how can i make her behavior stop

Answer 1

In what way is she not sharing her toys? Is she growling and biting? Or is she hiding her property?

To me It sounds like she is protecting her territory,

you need to keep a close eye on this because my aunt had a dog and when they brought a new dog into the home her first dog kept attacking the newcomer and it resulted in my uncle getting bitten!

But im sure that it wont come to that! perhaps you could play with them in seperate rooms?

Answer 2

She's not spoiled she is showing the new puppy she is the boss. If you continually take the toys away from her and give them back to the puppy your are undermining her authority and may cause fights. If you want the new puppy to be able to play with the toys, seperate him from resident dog and give him the toys in his 'special' area.  

Answer 3

I have that same dog... :)  ALL TOYS ARE HERS!!!!!!!!

She is so spoiled but I love her to death.

I make her keep her toys in a room & only she can play with them.

When she is out with the rest of the family, its with no toys.

She is a big bully, even though she is the smallest of the bunch.

The others got used to her & her spoiled tendencies,

Dogs usually work these things out on their own.

Good Luck!

Answer 4

Your dog is not "spoiled" she is insecure because of the new puppy.

Show your dog more attention, don't show the new puppy so much so that your dog won't need to be jealous.

She will accept the puppy if you don't make a big deal out of it when she takes the puppies toys - let her, she will get over it.

If you punish her because of the puppy, for whatever reason, she will hate it.

Answer 5

She's showint she's dominant. Take a training class so you'll know how to appropriately handle all their behaviors~!

Answer 6

She is showing your new puppy who is boss - this is classic dominance behavior.  She will "allow" the pup to play with them when she's good and ready and the pup will wait, is how she sees it.  You need to let them get their "pecking order" worked out between the two of them - this is completely natural.  The older dog is usually the "alpha dog" - the boss - and the younger ones will respect that.  Don't be surprised if the older dog grabs the pup by the muzzle or snarls, etc. at him - she won't hurt him - she's just teaching the pup that she's the boss & that takes awhile for some pups.  Let them work it out & soon they'll be happily playing together.

EDIT:  Again - they are trying to work out which one is boss - the first dog was there first, so she considers the new dog an intruder into her space, even though the new dog is older she is smaller, therefore the collie thinks she's the boss.  You will need to supervise more often since they are both pups, but don't be surprised if the min-pin becomes the aggressor  - she is older & smaller, therefore will need to protect herself & "stand up" to the younger, although bigger, dog.  Invest in dog crates and crate train them both - you may need to separate them during the day, but do NOT punish them by putting them in the crate - it will only make them fear the crate.  Do some research on crate training and dog training - it sounds like you got 2 dogs without much knowledge about either breed.

Answer 7

First she is a female and they tend to think that everything belongs to them. But you need to teach her that the toys aren't all hers. If she can't play nice, she can't play.

Answer 8

i have the same problem with my 2 year old dog. but if my 4 year old dog gets a toy, she runs over to her and takes it off her.
