We adopted an intact male dachshund, around seven months ago. We were told that he was around three years old, But the vet said he's probably more like five. I am his person, he follows me around the house. He's my little shadow. Hes fine with my husband and everyone else when i'm not around, however, if I am around, he is super protective and possessive of me. He will bark and growl if my husband even comes in the same room. And if we hug, he will jump and snap at my husband, I have tried removing access to me when he does this, seems to make it worse. Tried treats to distract and reward when not barking.
It really seems i'm the problem hahah…. because he only does it when i'm around. he's literally fine with everyone when i'm not home. but is velcro to me when I am around and does not let anyone near me. help!
I have a husband and three sons that would like to be able to walk in a room without getting barked and growled at.
thank you.
