Need some advice
Wife and I are watching her brother’s Morkie for a few months while he’s on assignment with the Marine Corps. She’s 7 years old, 5lbs with 3 legs because a couple of years ago, she got loose from the harness her brother had on her and attacked a much larger dog that bit her right front leg off.
She’s the cutest little thing in the world but oh boy…she’s fearless, moody and smart as a whip.
She loves her playtime in the early evenings when we’re home from work with play-biting and belly rubs etc. But the rest of the time, she’s aloof and not wanting to be bothered. We have our “battle scars” from when we just want to give some head scratches or even boops.
She hasn’t learned her lesson about barking and wanting to go after other dogs in the neighborhood when we take her out for walks. Any advice on how to calm her down and help her be more friendly at home when she’s just chilling on the couch or on one of the dog beds we’ve placed for her?
