So I’m home from school today due to recommendations from Coronavirus but I don’t think my dogs realised someone was home. I have a 3 year old female pug who is very outgoing and a bit of a wild one, and a 11-12 year old female dog who has always been very tame, has never intentionally bitten a person, and is pretty much only hyperactive when a ball is put near her. Just some background info about them so you hopefully might have an idea of what’s going on.
Anyways so long story short I was laying in bed to hear the sound of what couldve been the dogs attacking a bird for all I know. When I ran outside I saw my older dog on top of my pug not really seeming to be clenched down or biting though, with the pug screeching the most disturbing thing I’ve heard before. I do know pugs are screamers though and she doesn’t really know how to bark so this could’ve been her way of making a noise that any other dog would make when being “attacked”. The little thing does annoy my older dog a lot with jumping around growling at her and biting at the ears happening a lot since she’s that type of irritating little terror. This however is normally only when we are all outside as they both seem to be jealous of the attention being given to eachother. I feel I must add this actually happened once previously on a school morning where I heard what I again thought was a bird being caught. I didn’t see what had happened as I was in bed and it was earlier that morning. Anyways back to today at first I was angry at the older dog but when I had them separated that little buggar ran back trying to start something again. She’s got a big case of small dog syndrome and it’s clearly not meshing well as my other dog gets older and less tolerant of being annoyed. The reason I’m here is hoping someone has experienced something like this before and I don’t know what would’ve happened if I didn’t go out there and stop it. At the moment I have them separated against the will of my currently whinging and gate rattling pug, but my other dog is laying around seemingly really down. I don’t know what to do because really the smaller dog whether annoying or not can’t handle the offence of the big one, so I really don’t feel right going out there and being all nice to the attacker. Instead I’ve got them separated not giving either any attention because I really don’t know what to do. If anybody with some knowledge of this type of pet relationship sees this and has a question for me in regards to something that I may not of made clear, please do ask. My dogs are usually pretty good when people are home, they’ll sleep around each other and bark at oncoming cars together, it’s just when I’m not home I’m starting to get worried that my older dog has a bit of a dark side and doesn’t tolerate anything at all which could lead to danger, as there have now been multiple occasions where something has happened to the pug including a bloody clip on the ear a fair while ago. Really the issue here is in the pug initiating the violence with her annoying teasing but she’s at an age where I don’t know what to do about it.
