Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Do dogs express 'jealousy'?
I don't really understand this behavior in dogs.
I took my two to a new groomer today. The groomer went over Zeeva first, checking her teeth, giving her a rubdown and looking at her nails. When she proceeded to do the same with Smokey, Zeeva sort of flipped out by barking in a high pitched tone and wanting to walk over to the groomer and Smokey.
I've also noticed that when I, or anyone for that matter, gives Smokey affection, Zeeva proceeds to come between Smokey and the person giving affection.
What is this behavior? Is it jealousy? Is it something that needs to be discouraged? Is it resource guarding? Of Smokey?
Also, I don't want to start a new thread so I'll ask here. The groomer suggested some kind of deshedding regime that I didn't really understand. It's in addition to a traditional bath and brushing. I should've had her specify, but the regime she claimed helps prevent shedding after a few treatments. Does anyone know what I'm taking about and how well or if it works??? |

| I cannot imagine any kind of regimen that would stop a husky from shedding. But I am no expert either. |

| it's resource guarding but not of the other dog but of the people affection. "Hey you look at me never mind the other dog here i'm the center of attention you should only be petting and loving on me." In my mind it should be discouraged but i'm not sure how you go about it. |

| Are you taking them to Petsmart by any chance? They have this thing they try to sell to me all the time called the "furminator de-shedding treatmeant" I never take it because I don't want them to use a furminator on my Sibe. I can't trust that they will use it properly and not rip out a bunch of guard hairs. The shampoo itself however does have some pretty decent reviews on Amazon. If anyone has experience with Petsmart's treatment or the shampoo itself please chime in. You could try it, or just buy the shampoo off amazon and use a safer tool to groom your dog. |
