| First off, bless you for taking this little girl in. What a big change for all involved. Just try to remember that she's had a huge upheaval and not use to 'sharing' with a sibling. I would start off not ever letting them be together unless closely supervised. You've got to be the boss and let her know as soon as she does something not allowed. Do not allow her to bully Mignon, step in, seperate them and correct her. For my kids, a firm 'bite' with my fingers on the back of their neck and a "sshhhh!" was enough for them to understand. Now I just snap my fingers and shhh and they'll stop. (And of course, give me the "But he started it!" look ) Feeding time should be closely supervised until she gets the idea that she's not the boss. At 10 months, she can be re-taught things. It's just going to be up to you to enforce the rules and show her a lot of love and praise when she does things right. Good luck!

| Cesar Milan I think you need to show you ARE the pack leader. Don't take any crap from this, or any other dog and don't let them boss one another. Now if they think a dog is being unstable they will try to correct them, but that should be your job and when you do, they won't. Is that clear or clear as mud? Anyway good luck and God bless. |

| Miss Lillie is so gorgeous! please just give her some time to get used to her new surrounding. As the poster just said up above, she is not used to having to share being she was the lonely yorkie for 10 months. it's understandle that she's feeling jealous, so give her attention separately from ur other boy, then together. I laughed about ur other boy wanting ur mom, that's too cute! good luck sweetie

| Thank goodness for you Aunty to take her in! She is probably upset behind having to move and needs time to adjust. Be firm but loving to her and encourage her to learn to love and show respect for her new little brother. This will work out just give it time! She is a beautiful baby!
