A Patient Pooch

My poor dog is going to bite Jake one of these days. And you know what? He will deserve it. Jakob tortures this dog. Toby gets no peace when she is in the same room with him. He teases her with food, he throws toys at her, he hangs onto her tail, and pretty much does anything he can to get a rise out of her. She puts up with a lot. But lately her patience has been getting shorter and shorter. I don’t blame her. It drives me nuts too. I feel bad for her. Today is her birthday. Toby is five today. She was given some treats for her special day. But what I wish we could give her is a day free of harassment from the boy. He doesn’t respond to punishment at all. I have put him in time outs, put him in his room alone, taken away toys and privileges, but nothing works. It isn’t fair that she gets banished to the porch or kitchen to get away from him. So the question is, what do I do to get him to leave her alone???
