He also growls meanly sometimes and they get into a real fight. I am attaching a video of him taking toys. He finally lets Pippa have an abandoned Santa Claus after taking away about 4 other toys from her. Do I need to be concerned or intervene? OR do I let them just go about their doggie play and let him dominate? I always break it up when it seems to get "serious". http://www.dropshots.com/day.php?use...entTime=193559 |
What you are seeing is called resource guarding and I stop it if it gets serious as one can get hurt. They should be able to figure out how to handle it them selves but may not.
