ok, so this may sound weird but I need some input. I'vd had my maltese for over a year now and a black lab I've had for 5 years. We've never had a problem with them together, as far as we could tell they got along and played well. Recently, our black lab has gotten very agressive and with my maltese and is really being a pest. I don't know if maybe he's in heat or something else. Our maltese is neutered and our lab isn't. But nothing we do will stop our lab from pestering him. He's always sniffing him and trying to bite his neck and back area. Any suggestions would be great. Also, now when we come home (and the dogs were alone) our couch cushions are somehow off the couch and spread all over the house! So who knows what he's been doing to my maltese!
I would get the lab fixed and put the dogs in seperate rooms when you can't be there to supervise. Then I would try and make them get along when you are home.
ok, we have 3 dogs, and all three are spay/neutered. we got gruffi when he was really young...so that might help. but definitely correct the lab when he's nippy like that. squirt water. and definitely neuter the lab. he might even try to mount the maltese.

Yep, I would get the lab neutered for sure. I really think that'll make a huge difference. And I wouldn't leave them alone together.... the malt is so much saller that he would have trouble defending himself if the lab got dangerously aggressive....
I wonder if we should all try to update on here every day or every few days on how we are all doing so that we know everyone is ok. I know we must all be stressed and worried about Covid 19. It's so scary listening to the news every day. I have a hard time not crying every time I hear about...
How old are our babies when they are “technically“ considered adults? I know Kobe is not yet. He’s not even an adolescent yet. I don’t think. Lol 😆 Just thinking about when it will be that I will stop giving him puppy food and start giving him big boy food.
So we are going to be traveling to our vacation home in a month or two, depending on Covid conditions and I am curious about how this will work with my new companion. I don’t think Kobe will mind the travel because we have been trying to get home used to going out in the car a lot in his crate...
It’s kind of a funny story.
I had always wanted a little girl so I could keep her with longer hair and put bows and dress her up and stuff but my Kobe was a surprise anniversary gift from my husband. We’ve always talked about getting a dog but 27 years into our marriage we still had none. Year...
CONGRATULATIONS! CONGRATULATIONS! CONGRATULATIONS!
