If you’ve ever found yourself wondering, “Why is my dog acting jealous of the other one?”, you’re definitely not alone. In this week’s episode of Paws and Pawsitivity, certified dog trainer Jamie Watkinson-Harvey dives into the emotional world of our canine companions to answer one of the most frequently asked questions in multi-dog households: Do dogs really get jealous?
Jamie explains what’s actually going on beneath the surface when dogs push each other out of the way for attention, the difference between jealousy and resource guarding, and how to restore calm and confidence using kind, positive reinforcement methods.
He even shares a heartfelt story about Reggie, his first dog after losing a beloved companion, and how Reggie gracefully adapted to life with Onyx and Penny, proving just how emotionally aware dogs can be when we support them properly.
