phantom pregnancy

Unfortunately daisy has started a phantom pregnancy right before she was supposed to get spayed. She has become a bit aggressive with our Shihtzu and bit her twice which I gave her a firm smack for. I will proberbly ebe slated for that but I can't have daisy bullying Lilly. Lilly is a third of her weight and squealed when she bit her.. she has also become distant with me and I'm the one who feeds walks trains her the other members of my family don't do anything which is a bummer. I hope she finishes soon!

Oh poor Daisy, Katy has just finished her phantom. It's not nice for them, Katy didn't show any signs of aggression. She was extremely snuggly & I couldn't get anything done. It only lasted a couple of weeks but got to wait till her body settles back done before I can book her in for spaying. It will be over soon  

you dont want to smack her smacking just make thing worse

Wild dogs show authority through being physical. But I agree in this circumstance I proberbly shouldn't have but I refuse to let her show signs of aggression in front of me it's a bit like she is challenging me too by trying to boss

dog are not wolf place an dog on an naughty step is enough punishment, we cant support hitting on this forum

A smack on the nose isn't really hitting I would never cause a dog real pain

It's a bit like tapping a child on the bum for hitting another child besides she stopped butting and came for a cuddle later on so all is forgiven

still we cant support hitting

I understand I don't support hurting an animal either but be assured it didn't hurt daisy
