hi i am new

i was wondering if anyone can give me some advice. i have 2 dogs. both huskies and they both get walked everyday so i know its not lack of exercise. the older one lady is 15 months old and the younger one misty is 3 months old.

we got misty as lady is quite an attention seeking dog and we didnt think she would cope well with us bringing a baby home (im currently 27 weeks pregnant). she doesnt cope when she gets shut in a room on her own which will obviously happen as times when baby is born so i thought get another dog as i love huskies and she has a play mate but i also understand is you shut 2 dogs in a room together they cope better but if its just one they feel excluded from the pack.

well we have had misty for 3 weeks now and things are ok but not great.

misty is much more confident than lady, lady will get all jumpy and barky if someone comes to the door or if someone tries to pet her in the street she tries to run away. misty will wonder over to people for fusses etc so you get the picture that misty is quite confident but she is a very loving dog.

lady is not coping well with misty and i dont think she likes her. we had the inital problems with the sleeping but now they both sleep in the front room together all night and with no crying however lady was worse than misty and would scratch at our door and whine most of the night.

lady has started trashing things when we go out (she has in the past but this is getting out of hand) and we know it is lady and not misty. yesterday misty was in her crate when we went out whilst lady was in the front room and lady got loads of my baby bits out everywhere and ripped up a dvd case, tv remote. she knew as soon as i got home she was in trouble and i didnt even say anything to her so she knows what she is doing is wrong. the day before she trashed a £60 xbox remote that isnt even ours. we tried putting her in the kitchen but she seems to escape and hates being in there.

she will play with misty but normally goes over board and bully like. so she will either make misty cry or box her into her a corner so misty cant get out- which i find quite bullying behaviour. this morning i gave them both a fuss (misty gets so excited to see me) and lady tried to smack misty to push her away.

she has scratched the hell out of our new door in the kitchen becasue she tries to escape everytime she is put in there when we go out. she tries to snatch toys and chews off misty all the time. lady is also not listening very much anymore. for a husky she was actually a very obediant dog but now if i tell her to lay down she will push her luck with me big time. its like she is a law in to herself these days.

she has ruined the new door and door trim we put up in the kitchen, the tv remote no longer works.

its really starting to upset me a lot and my husband is getting really annoyed with it too.

i have tried having alone time with lady. she has had walks on her own, fusses on her own but i cant keep excluding the poor little puppy. if i call lady up for a cuddle on the sofa within 5 mins she is down again but misty will sit up there with me for hours cuddling me.

sorry its so long but i just dont think i can cope with lady if she carries on this way and a baby too. i need to start toilet training misty but with all of ladies problems misty is being neglected and just pooing anywhere really.

if anyone can offer some advice that would be great. i dont live in a house i live in a flat so i cant just pop them out into a back garden either.

i also do not want to get rid of my dogs. we got lady after our daughter passed away and she helped me so much and gave me a reason to get out of the house and keep smiling. the dogs are my fur babies and i really just couldnt get rid of them it would break my heart x
