Hello, I have a 3 year old and a 18 week old. The 18 week old one starts growling at the 3 year old as soon as we get outside and today she just continually tried to bite her. Her attention was solely on her and she was trying to get at her all the time.
In the house they are generally fine together, one or the other tries to grab a toy / treat but this is not a problem.
The 3 year old is very submissive and does not react to being biten - she just yelps.
The 18 week old one tries to be dominant all the time. I accept that she will be the more dominant of the 2 but I would like them to get along and have enjoyable walks and playtime without having to worry about the 3 year old being bitten.
help would be so much appreciated.
