Our 1st week of my Alpha Reign
With Debbie Glencorgi and Peggy’s help I have seen the error of my way. I was unsure what to do with The Girls fighting for World Domination over the past few months. Never having two dogs b4 this larger pack thing is still a work in progress. Now I see the World is mine and they must live peacefully in MY World LOL
We went back to basic 101 - we have an electric fence and it was easier for me to hold open the door and let The Girls run in/out first and me follow. WRONG - Chloe over the past few months would start her play fights with Emma right after coming inside and that seem to set the tone for the next hour. Now we play by my rules. I go in/out first then they follow... Chloe is stopped with a big AAANNNNTTTT if she tries her WWF moves. No treat until they both sit like little Ladies by the door when they come in.
Each time Chloe has tried to start something she gets called on it. By the middle of the week things had calmed down quite a bit between them. We had one almost fight yesterday evening. Chloe and Leah had been playing all afternoon and Chloe was a bit wound up. Em was next to me and Chloe came over - they started their growls and posturing. I yelled “NO Chloe - Emma STOP” and they backed away from each other and within a minute the tension was gone. Just call me Queen B*tch .... I have a tee shirt that says “you call me a beach like it’s a bad thing” with two girls laying in beach chairs...perhaps that will become our motto here is T-Gal Land.
I think week 1 was a success - now on to week 2. Is there anything else I should add???
