My dog Mozart is supposedly a Shih Tzu / Pom mix.. but I am told by my vet that he seems to be more of a Poodle/Lhasa apso and that chances are he's got the four breeds in him.
That being said. I love Mozart dearly but he cannot seem to grasp the fact that mommy is allowed attention from other people. If I want to cuddle with a friend, or if I give a hug to someone he jumps and barks and has snapped my brother when giving him a good bye hug.
How do I teach him to not do that. I don't want to have to put him in his crate when its my turn for cuddles.. but if I have too for him to learn, i will. I just hope there's a better solution to this. My friends and family all love my dogs but Mozart just can't seem to grasp that its not all about him when it comes to affection.
Help!
