When you said your 3 year old I just assumed child.
Well try the suggestions and see if just you making the noise works. Boo has the patience of Job when it comes to Gracie Ruth. I just kept telling him he can say no to her and not get into trouble. He does now have a growl and woof that he'll use that says "Enough!" and 9 times out of 10 she'll listen to it. If she doesn't I'm right there to reinforce it. I also spend some time petting Boo and focus on him only. Of course G wants in on it. I just move her aside, tell her at-at and usually after about the 3rd time she'll sit off to the side and wait until I'm thru. This shows her that Boo gets special time, that it's not all about her,
and as pack leader whatever
I want goes. I also, in the beginning, always gave Boo the treats, food, access to outside, etc first. G always had to wait for hers. Again it shows her that I'm in charge, and Boo is 'above' her. Now it depends on why I'm giving treats as to who gets it first. Or who asked to go outside as to who gets to go first.
