i guess what i'm saying is-i was just trying to figure out what more i can do-and hoping that there was something esle-one more thing-one more trick-one more place to look that will help. or maybe just the mental ease of it all----venting and in getting support that it all might eventually work itself out. |
This problem is not going to go away in a day. if you are correcting the pup everytime it attacks the older dog then you are on the right track, but it's going to take time. If the puppy is not responding to yhour Dog Whisperer "nips" then you need to be more forceful. Hold the puppy down and let the older dog snif him.
But I would not leave them together unattended so the pup can torcher the older dog.
This will take time and patience.
keep working on it and good luck
