If the older dog does something that you think is not okay or even just kinda being pushy it could lead to something worse. I I perfer to egde on the side of caution b/c i have seen big dogs get into it pretty bad b/c the owners have let them run a muck.
Allot of ppl think this can't happen with little dogs but it can.
When you see something that you don't like (b/c your top dog  ) then stop it and let both dogs know that your the boss.
Ceasar Millan uses Ch--- shound and it works with my bella. I only use it when she does something I don't want her to do.
Good luck.  |
Can't figure out what that word would be............
But I agree.You are the top dog (so to speak) in your house, so you are in charge, not Katie. I have 4 yorkies and they all have their little spats now and then....I am quick to stop the ones that get to heated. My eldest female Lexie (12 lbs) certainly shows dominancy over the younger female who is also the newest member of our family. She likes to pick on her, will stand over her and/or practically sit on her to let her know she comes first (or so she thinks). I
ALWAYS set Lexie straight when I see her getting overly bossy.
As for the eating thing......mine have all done that (standing back, waiting....) at one time or another. I still haven't figured out exactly why yet. Since they've all done it, I don't think it's a dominace thing in this case anyway. It's got me baffled
