Smithy Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Sounds a daft question I know but, Smithy has never been a lap dog right from pup kept wanting him to come up and give us a cuddle but alas, no, it's not in him and he never has. Last night however, I was talking to the neighbour outside and fussing her Collie dog (really affectionate dog), Smithy was watching all this from inside, anyways I go in the house, sit on the sofa, and bang straight up, mush in lap as if to say "you're mine"and stayed there for at least 20 minutes. So just wondering if your dogs show any signs of jealousy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siberian_wolf Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 not seen this with my boys. However they do always seem to want the same thing even when they have exactly the same as the other and always want the same persons attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice and Cripton Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 You should see the 'evils' i get when im fussing over balto >> she'll either sit there and sulk or come over, Balto will also come over sometimes. You see we got alaska first so she thinks of herself as queen bee lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bec Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 No.... I don't think dogs get jealous (that's a human concept) but they do compete for resources i.e. treats, food, pats/attention etc - not driven by a sense of jealousy (i.e. I don't like that they have what I want!) but a natural instinct to to be higher in the pack or to have whatever resources they can get.

Smeagle ... the word jealousy is the closest human word that can be used for it ... to dogs its vieing for a premium item..looking to climb up the pack ladder all be it for 30secs higher or if it be a life long thing that you pet your dogs in a certain order...
