Hi Everyone,
My 5 Month boxer puppy adores my boyfriends 2yr Podenco Hound that we rescued from Spain so we try and take them out together as often as possible but Alfie (puppy) just will not stop bouncing on Scooby's (hound) head as soon as he's in reach of him he just wont stop, its like he has springs on his paws! At first we thought Scooby would give him a little telling off, maybe a nip or a growl but he wont even look at him, so we have started to interupted this behavour now with little effect. Scooby's a hunting dog so all he wants to do when we've out is hunt and all Alfie wants is to play so i think this winds him up more.I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this or any advice because i think it's starting to upset Scooby to the point where he doesn't like going out with Alfie anymore and its not very pleasant for me walking a Kangaroo! Any advice would be greatly appeciated, Thanks!
