I have brought her to the vet. She is fine and healthy. Has had arthritis in her left hip for four years. I exercise her an hour or more a day.
The moment she shows this negative behavior I stop teaching go to the front hall or waiting room immediately say No. If she continues I step between the Heidi and the student she immediately stops. I then remove her and try very hard to give no affection for a few moments. She has done this with Tom and older adult student and the moment I told her to stop she put her head on his leg in a submissive manner and wanted attention. Tom started to pet her I told him not to and removed Heidi. She then settled down and was quiet and calm for the half hour lesson.
What is going on? Any ideas. I have started going to the door and greeting everyone and that seems to prevent this behavior from Heidi but I would like to have a clue as to why this is happening.
Thank you
