Lots of people say to let the dogs work it out, but Eddie has a history of biting in situations like that and there's no room for error with a puppy.
Fortunately, the only damage seems to have been a new fear from Jillian. It broke my heart, but she bounced right back the next day and wanted to play again.
So we're back to leashed playtime with Eddie when Jillian's around and strict control over toys. No more of the catch-me-if-you-can games. |
What a perfect little girl, seeing them play is just what people picture when they think of getting a new playmate. Then reality sets in. I know when Joey meant his "nephew" for the first time, his bark was much worse than his bite. I think it's really important that she understands she has to obey her big brother, and remember, those little puppy teeth are a lot sharper than Eddie's teeth. Wonderful video!
