Learning A Lot Thanks again for all the responses and advice. Learned all sorts of things today and appreciate the advice.

Interesting Stuff First on the cat topic....nope, the dogs don't show any aggressiveness to the cats. The one cat the ignore like the plague as she is a little cranky and scares them (they will walk all the way around a room if she is standing in the doorway just to avoid any confrontation)...

Unattended? Not following you....it is not like I am leaving my 11 month old running around the house alone. That isn't the case. My concern is that situations could happen when I am sitting at the table with my son, he is in his high chair and the dogs are laying on the floor beside us. My...

rumsgirl Response Yeah, honestly don't have any idea that jealously of my son is the reason for this behavior....heck, it could be that because it has finally rained her for the past two weeks, the dogs haven't had enough time outside to work out their energy and are redirecting it. As far as...

Yet Another Again, appreciate y'alls advice, but not following you. My dogs have been wonderful members of our family for 3+ years now. They had several weeks of obedience training when they were young and continued and consistent reinforcement of that training over the three years. They are...

You all are right.... You all are right....you don't walk in my shoes and you don't understand. You may feel that the dogs are your children and that is fantastic. I used to and still do, however I make a VERY solid distinction between my dog and cat children and my human child. My human...

My wife and I have a baby who joined our family (2 boxers, 2 cats) 11 months ago who is the joy of our life now. Unfortunately, that means that Perry and Jordan, our two boxers who were used to most of the attention, are playing second fiddle now. Not sure if this is the cause or not, but have...
