So I am in some need of help with my 9 month old female purebred Yellow Lab named Belle. She is such a great girl with a winning personality and is incredible smart, weighing at 73.5lbs she is a big girl. I have had her since 8 weeks old and she is housetrained, and knows basic obedience like sit, stay, down, leave it, take it, come, and paw. She is also trained in retrieving bumpers and dead birds when I go hunting. Now the problem is...she only listen when she wants too, she is very good at tuning me or anyone else out. She can be extremely stubborn too. I have a female 8 1/2 year old Golden Mix named Rosie, and Belle constantly is knocking her down, jumping on her, ramming into her, sometimes Rosie will yipe and shake when this happens and as much as I say no or correct her but putting her on a leash or removing her from the situation, she's back at it 5-10 mins later. She also has been chasing my 4 year old DSH cat non stop!!!!! There are times that she will lick the cat and try and play with her but other times she will bite her not to a point where she draws blood but my cat will meow in pain, and Belle will growl at her, sometimes if I try to pull her off, she is so strong she pulls against me. I will be getting her spayed in September, and she is not in heat at all. I have been working with dogs since I was young, have always had dogs, and worked in a shelter training dogs to be adopted. I have tried many many many techniques and nothing seems to be working. I don't like scolding her over and over again, and I don't like my other animals getting hurt or irradiated. If anyone has any suggestions please I am all ears. Thank you!
