It sounds like your Chinese Crested dog is exhibiting some behaviors that might be a bit concerning, so let's explore what these could mean and how you might address them.
Firstly, if your dog is uncontrollably peeing on his siblings, this might be a sign of marking territory or asserting dominance. This behavior is quite common in households with multiple dogs, especially if there have been changes in the hierarchy or environment. To manage this, try supervising their interactions closely and reinforce positive behavior with treats and praise.
Regarding his food possessiveness, acting as though all the food is his could indicate resource guarding. A good approach is to feed him separately from his siblings and practice commands like "leave it" or "stay" during meal times. This can help him understand that food will always be available and he doesn't need to guard it.
If he's biting his siblings, it could be playful behavior or another sign of dominance. It's important to supervise playtime and intervene if it becomes too rough. Teaching commands such as "gentle" or "enough" can be effective in managing this behavior.
The twisting of his body and restlessness might suggest high energy levels or anxiety. Providing plenty of physical and mental stimulation through walks, playtime, and puzzle toys can help channel this energy in a positive way.
If he constantly looks at you for reassurance, it might indicate a need for comfort or a strong bond with you. While this is generally normal, if it becomes excessive, it could be a sign of separation anxiety. Gradually increasing the time he spends alone and rewarding calm behavior can be beneficial.
Lastly, constant whining can be a form of communication, indicating needs or discomfort. Try to observe any patterns or triggers for the whining and address them as needed.
Since these behaviors have been ongoing for a couple of months, it might be helpful to keep a journal of when they occur to identify any patterns or triggers. If these behaviors persist or worsen, consulting a professional dog trainer or behaviorist could provide you with personalized guidance.
