She knows I'm the alpha; I don't have problems with that. For the most part, she is not mean or a bully. She just wants everything first. I understand that Tia and Ally play tug-of-war with toys, but if Tia sees Ally pick up anything, she will run and get it...because it is better...just like a toddler wanting everybody else's toy. Ally usually gives up, whether she wants it or not. I give them Cheerios for a snack in the morning. I've had to separate into two separate piles because Tia does seem to become a bully then. I do feed them all day because Ally is not a good eater, but Tia normally eats her all her food and there's a 50/50 chance that she may sneak Ally's. When Tia was tiny (around 1 lb) I had to pick her up so Ally could eat. She would just push her way in and Ally would not finish eating. I think I have the food part covered though. I just don't know if I should stop her every time she takes something away from Ally or pushes her out of the way to get to me. How do I make her share and not 'hog' everything? It's hard to explain! |
