Hi all,
I just got a 4 month old tiny puppy. She is about 1.2lbs, so she is small, about half the size of my almost 18 month old. My problem is she keeps charging at my poor little girl, seems to nip and try to bite her, steals her toys.....and she is half the size. My older girl seems lost, and hesitant to stand up for her rights. She seems afraid to set limits and ends up being abused by the puppy. The puppy charges at her like a bull and then rams into her, jumps on her and sometimes even tries to bite her. She just seems so lost, so depressed. I wonder am I supposed to stop these shenanegans? Or allow them to work it out themselves? Both of them are very very small. my older one is only between 2 and 2.5 lbs. She seems so depressed, I'm almost thinking of selling the puppy because my older one seems to be having such a bad reaction. Should I step in and stop the puppy from jumping on the older one? How should I handle this my first time as the parent of two puppy dogs. I don't know how to handle this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. By the way, the puppy is the cutest thing. Very rambunctious and full of energy and cute as pie. But I dont want my older girl to be depressed or abused. She is the love of my life. Help!!!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Shellie :-)
