Consistency with any dog is key. Maybe you need to try one and one time with your little boy. Also, positive training may make him more responsive, if you aren't already do that. Training sessions without the other two around may help him focus more on you. And make him wear a belly band if he is marking this may help as well.

We also have a large dog who behaves extremely well and sometimes it causes Sophie to "act out" or seek more attention when she notices we work more with him than her. Then it's our cue that we may be neglecting her needs and she loves to train, too!

My Sophie definitely has the "yorkie" mentality down and we have to be super consistent and try to catch her so we discourage her when she does incorrect things.
