Jealous dog

Hello Peykat, Your dog seems not to know what is his position in your family. He must think the deserves attention before your baby cousin and this is not good. You must train him to respect you and everybody in your family. You should never do things when he ask you to. For instance, don't pet him when he asks for attention by jumping on you and embracing your legs. Or, another example, make him sit and wait before giving him his meal. Whenever you know your baby cousin is going to visit you, spend some time with your dog, play with him, run together or just take him for a walk. This way, when the baby comes, the dog will be tired and more easy to manage. Every time he start barking at you when holding the baby, tell him a firm NO. As soon as he calms down, reward him for being quiet (the reward may be either a treat or just a petting). Repeat this until he understands that you are the one that decides when he deserves attention. Always keep an eye on him when the baby is around, as he might bite the child because of his jealousy.

If I were in this situation even though never had a jealous dog like that. I would tell the dog "no" and then keep the baby out of the reach of the dog or go to a room and close the door so the dog can't come in and play with the baby. then when they leave pet your dog and talk to him. and then play. if you do this routine enough with the dog then eventually he will get the idea that you play with him after the baby leaves and your not ignoring him.

Hi Its amazing to know that dogs can also be very possessive about their master and do not want to share their master with anyone. Its really sweet to know that your dog loves you so much and doesnt want you to play with your babay cousin. I never knew dogs cud get so jealous.
