Looking to this board for some expertise to correct a couple of things with 6 month old Mini.
We also have a 4 year old Pom in the house as well.
They get along for the most part.
1.) Not sure if this problem can be corrected, However, When we feed her, She absolutley devours her food as fast as she can. Is there a way to get her to slow down? Vet told us she is very food driven and should use that to our advantage for training purposes. Just never had a dog that ate like this.
2.) This is the one that concerns me and I need direction to correct. When she is sleeping, She likes to snuggle under the blankets like most Dach's do. However, When we wake her up (We remove the blanket from on top of her first), Especially when it is time to go to bed, If we try to move her, she begins to growl. If we try to pick her up, she starts to growl very aggressively and has even bit me a couple of times, last night she bit the fiance also. Any assistance/direction with this?
Thank you in advance for any helpfulness you can provide.
