I have a 7 month old female corgi named Edie. She's all kinds of sweet and adorable but she recently is SO bossy and jealous. My dad has a older Jack Russel female and just got a Dachshund male who is a few months older than Miss Edie.
Edie has decided that she doesn't like us paying attention to the other dogs. At first, she would just kind of wiggle her way in between us but now she starts growling and/or kind of mouthing and poking at the other dogs to try to get them away. She's become pretty possessive. Sometimes she gets really mad and will go after them and we'll have to break up a fight.
The Jack Russel was queen of the pack until Edie came along and Edie has pretty much pushed her way to the top, probably because she's bigger than all of the dogs.
Is it normal for Corgis to be so jealous and bossy? I want to stop this before it really gets going because I don't want any of the pups to get hurt.
She loves other dogs and playing with them but it's mainly at home that we have this issue. I plan on signing her up for an obedience class soon, I'm just trying to pick the right place for us.
Any suggestions or advice?
