the dam is not the mom.. but a 2 yr old..
the new puppy is not hers

do not allow fighting
only praise good behavior

ignore the bad behavior by looking away in disdain..

they need time to adjust

they can feel your energy and fear

remain calm and assertive giving love for friendly behavior

dont allow possessiveness

take her toys for yourself since you are pack leader

She specifically asked in regards a dam's behavior.....

What about a female with pups 6-8 weeks old and if they are up running around and she gets aggressive with them, is this natural ? Biting them hard enough to exert pressure so it hurts the pup, may be not break the skin?
I seen some breeders have a room in their house dedicated to their dogs etc. but I didn't notice if they have the dogs separated by ages?

I know they are pack animals and their has to be the hierachy established.
