Looking for advice please, we got our first dog 7 years ago a beautiful border collie puppy, she is a working dog but also a house dog! Which was never a problem, she loved sheep and also the sofa and cuddles, Was spolit with time and attention which she deserved, now tho I need help, I don't want to say this out loud and I love her dearly!
But .. she has become such hard work. She's knows when she is being naughty , I don't think getting a dog behaviourist in would help?
Over the last couple of years my mum's cat came to live with us(he's no problem likes his own space and to snuggle, and we've had a baby, my dog won't go anywhere near the baby, I built a doggy den under the stairs so she had an extra space, she won't go near it. I take her out all the time on walks and she just pulls, wraps herself up around the pram if on the lead, she knows how to walk to heal, I try to give her one and one time, but sometimes I think actually I don't want to, she's a pain and making things that shud be fun /easy hard work! I am one person I give everyone and all my animals all the time I have and I don't really expect much back but I know this sounds crazy but I think she's selfish, she doesn't want to cuddle, won't return a ball, won't walk to heal, won't eat her food but is permanently at the fridge which she never use to do, doesn't seem to want to be with us, but seems unhappy , I know it's prob all down to jelously but what more can I do to make her start behaving again and in return make me start enjoying her again.
