My dog is Jealous,ideas?

So we have a 11 year old cat and a almost 3 year old cavoodle.

They get along great, our dog can sit,stay,drop shake, etc and does know many words,our names ,biscuit walk car etc, you get my drift

Anywhos..Since DD was born our cat has been a bit funny but she is ok,our dod on the other hand is ok with DD but has started to wee everywhere,chew everything,including my very expensive reading glasses this morning sigh..

She gets a bit growly as well, she just is not her self anymore, we can see she is jealous,i mean she was the baby of the house untill DD came along

what can we do? We are fed up with her but feel sorry for her at the same time

Is she getting enough attention? Prob not as much as before your DD's arrival, but is she getting left by the wayside with a young bub in the house? That could be enough to start the attention seeking behaviours? Have you got toys and treats and different things to keep her busy? Walking her daily? Bub can take up a lot of time, but your dog still needs your time too. And I'm not saying your neglecting your dog at all as you haven't said what you do do with your dog on a daily basis, I'm just saying in general :)

I'm really mindful to include our dog as much as possible, as I didn't want jealous or destructive behaviours cropping up. Sometimes just the simple act of going outside and laying a blanket down on the lawn and all 3 of us just chill in the shade is a lovely way to pass an hour. I give DD her toys and just kick back giving the dog an almighty pat. She laps it up.

When I first brought DD home and our dog wasn't getting as much attention and started chewing, a bit whiney etc whilst I was frustrated, I just kept telling myself that we turned her whole world upside down, it wasn't her that changed, we had changed on her, and had to be patient with that and understand why she was struggling with the change in pecking order. I hope that makes sense? I'm sure someone with more knowledge of dog behaviours will come along with better advice!

Thats the thing, she is included.

She gets treats ,has a bed and heaps of toys.I take her for a walk on nice days with the pram or baby bjorn,she loves the car ,so when ever we go in it he comes and has her own pillow to sit on lol

I sit outside on a big blanket with DD ,and so does our dog,we all sit together..Cookie was the baby of the house and i understand how hard it would be ,we give her asmuch attention as we can

I just worry that she may get upset wtih DD one day u know

Thanks for the reply :)

Hmmm it's a tough one then isn't it? Even though I love and adore our dog, I would never leave her alone with DD, so I understand your fears too.
Hopefully it all calms down soon, and is just a passing phase for your dog!
