Dog A: Has attacked house cats on several occasions (constantly being pardoned by mom and brother) eventually killing 2cats on 2 separate occasions. Displays obsessive behavior and possession over mom including being underfoot constantly in the house, leaning on/pushing and sitting on her feet/legs. Stalks and attempts to chase horses. Guinea pigs must be kept locked in a separate room as he has killed two busting into their cage to my horror when it had been moved out of my room (Remaining cat must also be kept away). Has aggressive and nervous body language including lip licking and stiff/arcing posture. Takes a lot of work to get to mind on a leash. Is VERY food aggressive. Has little respect for mom out doors. Takes off often and doesnt come when called. Tends to go nuts if mom moves around the house rushing to the door or barking. Gets along fine with most other dogs.
Dog B: Is kind of a ditz. Very good on a leash and easy to train. Comes when called. Does not bother horses and is often a companion in the barn. Does not bother other small house animals. Knows he is not to bark when I come out and tell him to stop but will constantly carry on if mom moves around the house and Im not there as he knows he can get away with it. Would like to be under moms feet if I didnt stop him from it. Is very sensitive. Gets along fine with most other dogs.
These two get into nasty fights with each other. I am never in the room when it starts. I am frustrated as I feel that a lot of it has to do with excitement and possession over mom and it is ALWAYS dog B who gets 100% of the blame. Dog A gets excused constantly and his red flag behavior is overlooked. I think a large problem is the possessiveness and her lack of control. I cant always be there and my brother beats the tar out of dog B for every fight they have. He is the one that gets muzzled or locked up while the other is treated like a prince. I purposely bought TWO muzzles to be used on these dogs when issues arose. Of course they need more than muzzles but I feel like I get absolutely no cooperation in trying to solve the problem. I feel like so many of the answers are right in front of us but not everyone is on board with admitting the trouble and going through the extra effort to step up.
