I just talked to Sugar's rescue foster mom and let her know about our issue. We are going to talk again later today. She will also consult with the head of the rescue group and see what they can suggest. She was very surprised by Sugar's behavior. She said that Sugar ALWAYS showed submission, even to her five lb. Chi's and she never would have expected to Sugar to treat a puppy that way.
All I can figure out is that Sugar's confidence has increased since we adopted her, and recently her world was turned upside down with John's surgery (not as much time with her) and the new puppy.
The behaviorist sounds like a good idea, but how do I go about finding a good one locally?
