This is brand new behavior for her so I'm looking to nip it in the bud, not get rid of her. Libby is my 9 year old Sheltie, Layla is the little Yorkie next door.

This evening I called Libby over to me and started to pet her. Starr came running over and step between us, so I told her to get back and pushed her away. She stepped back, stood there while I petted Libby, then I reached out and started petting her. She's incredibly smart, but she's also tried to be the Alpha from Day One. At the first vet's appointment when he gave her the first shots, she pottied on his table. He said, "Oh my, you've got an Alpha here." He made her angry, so she peed on his table.

I think I'll make an appointment with her vet to get some tips right now before it gets any worse.
