I have a 6 year old female catahoula, and she seems to be jealous of me in my relationship with my new boyfriend! About a month ago, we moved into a new house (which made her slightly neurotic, but she seems to be adjusting now) and shortly thereafter, I began dating him. My dog follows us around and gets in between us whenever possible. She is always licking him and shoving her backside up against his legs. This is going to sound ridiculous, but the relationship is pretty hot and heavy right now, so we hug and kiss often and she stands there staring at us and complaining the whole time (she makes all sorts of moaning and grumbling sounds). This is not a big place, and she's our constant shadow (and she's 80 lbs!) . The only way we can get any time away from her is to shut the door and even then, she can be heard grumbling in the hallway. If I reprimand her in anyway, she will slink off as if I am about to beat her, then, at the first opportunity, slink right back in the room quietly and go right for him. He laughs at her behavior and is very nice with her. He doesn't have to live with her 24/7, so his patience is a bit longer than mine.
She has always been a "mama's girl" and has followed me around since she was little, but having her vying for my guy's attention is downright annoying. She NEVER had this kind of crush on my ex husband and when she sees him for her visitation with the kids, she couldn't careless.
What can I do about this jeaous dog?
