Several people have advised me to start using NILIF training with her, so that is what I am trying.
In a way, this was MY fault today. I had ONE chewy bone left in the house and I gave it to Sugar. She took it up on the loveseat and sat enjoying it. Lacey stood on the floor staring at her and the chewy. Marlin came over to see what was the focus of all the attention, and he got too close to Lacey. Marlin has no teeth and no interest in chewy bones.
As usual, Marlin howls like the banshee is after him, but he didn't get hurt at all.
Lacey spent about 10 minutes in my bathroom. Since I let her out, Lacey hasn't even tried to jump in my lap, and she is being very wary around me. I think I may have had some impact on her! I didn't yell or holler or any of that, which sure was easier on me.
