Protective dog

Anna

We have a yappy eight pound Chorkie. (Chihuahua/yorkie)

My daughter plays on the floor from the time she wakes up all the way until bedtime. She crawls everywhere. The house is babyproofed. But there are still some places where she can get hurt. (Not severely) she's of course, never alone. My dog follows her everywhere. She is so stressed out. If I call my daughter's name when she's getting too close to the "unsafe zones" my dog freaks out, runs to her and gets between her and whatever I'm calling her away from. If my daughter cries or even sneezes, this dog is pacing! Up until a few weeks ago she was extremely jealous when it came to the baby. Now she thinks she's the mama lol
