i have a new baby sister... and my dog has been acting really strange lately so i want to make her happy again

Question

maybe shes jelaous or maybe i dont know she doesnt get enough attention

Answer 1

This is a common problem with new babys and dogs, all they want is your attention, (both the baby and the dog! lol) so once your baby grows up the boy/girl will learn to love this dog and the dog will love the baby, thats what happened with my son, i have a yellow lad and i had my son when the dog was only a year, now my son is 9 and my dog is 10 and they are inseperable!

Answer 2

Another suggestion. Ask your parents to place a delevery blanket (not washed, still with the baby's scent on it) into his/her sleeping area. This alows the dog to accept the scent of the baby (which means the baby itself) into the "pack".

All Dogs are pack animals, and are very weary of newcommers into the pack. This is what your animal is displaying (i dont think it is "sadness" as we might call it. its displacement, he/she has no idea what to make of the new bundle of joy). Another suggestion is to sit with your sister in a quite room. no toys or distractions for the dog, and allow the animal to aproach you and the baby on his/her own to investigate by smell (and i suggest interaction after the recieving blanket has been in the animals bed for a few nights).

This is a form of posotive training. Buying the animal special toys and treats will not aid in the introduction of the new baby. This is a distraction, and it is not linking the toys to the training, so what the dog thinks is "Hey new toy" not "Oh wow, they think im really sad because i am left out, so this will make me pleased about the baby in the house." UNLESS you reward (with a small treat) the animal for positive interaction with the baby (such as sniffing, being in the general area of the child, etc) and never punish the animal with toned voice, hitting etc. Animals are extreemly confused by this form of "punishment". Simply moving out of the room, ignoring the animal, will let him know he has done something wrong. (they aim to please, taking a reward of attention knowing that they have done a good job, and by ignoring, they aim to please again)

I think by doing this, her attitude will slowly change back to her normal self (it would happen eventually, but this is more of a posotive way to experience the intrigation of the to together)

Answer 3

Perhaps it would help to spend some quality time with your dog. Like take her for long walks in the park, play ball or frisbee with her and afterwards give her a one of her favorite treats. But let her know that you still love her and she is very much a part of the family.

Answer 4

Dogs that are not altered, tend to be more weary around babies. Especially if they were never socialized around kids.

Just make sure to give your dog extra attention, walks and treats. Let him know he is still a part of the family and you still love him like crazy!

Answer 5

the dog could be jealous of the new family member get her a some toys and treats and give her extra attention and let her get to smell the baby so she knows she is not being replaced

Answer 6

An asylum is slightly severe, but it surely feels like he is hooked on Xanax. That is almost always what's inflicting him to peer matters within the wall, pay attention them scratch, the guffawing, paranoia, and so forth. As for being "at battle with society," exploring structures at night time, crying approximately his puppy, and chopping his arm, that's all indicators of loneliness. He simply wishes anybody to be on his facet, to remedy him. He particularly has nobody, and with the state he is in, nobody however a reliable could be competent to get to him. Obviously he is not glad with the therapist he is at now, so a difference could be satisfactory.
