the only time milu growls at davinci is when he tries to take her chew toy or her food. i wish milu would growl and snap at davinci more to teach him not to be so annoying to her.
she used to be able to get away because only she knew how to climb the stairs, but davinci learned very quickly how to climb the stairs. so now she can't really get away from him anymore. sometimes she goes in her little house, davinci still sticks his head in her house and bite at her face and paw.
i started keeping them in separate rooms when i go out. but my concern with that is i had really wanted milu to learn to handle herself with davinci, and i feel like maybe i should keep them together while davinci is still small, that way milu can toughen up and learn how to deal with davinci as he grows bigger.
what do you think? is there anyway to teach milu to toughen up? she always acts like a little baby and just runs to me to be picked up if davinci is irritating her. i think maybe i baby her too much and that is why she is not asserting herself. (i was told by one of the breeders i visited that Milu does not know she is a dog)
