I understand your frustration. Jessie, who is 8, has always been VERY laid back and sweet. Scarlet, our new puppy is 3 months old. We have some of the same issues. Jessie has let her know a few times that he is unhappy with her jumping on his face. Last night we were so happy to be able to cuddle with both puppies. Jessie seemed relaxed and actually starting licking Scarlett's face. We were thrilled! It was so cute....UNTIL...she started trying to bite his tongue everytime he stuck it out to give her a kiss(lick).
I didn't know what to do.
I was afraid of what he would do if she got his tongue and yet didn't want him to stop...this was the first sign of any affection from him... we tried to correct her...
I would venture to say as they grow in size and maturity this will pass. I am trying to catch those moments when they are both calm to re-introduce them.
We pet Jessie next to her and say "good boy...see...she is not evil all the time!"
So...I guess ...take a deep breath and keep at it....I think it will all work out.
I keep telling myself the same.
