Thanks so much! That is what I did...introduced them outside, and when I did bring them in I sent Tiffany into the gated kitchen. I have been making sure that Papi eats first, leashed first etc as well. I have been trying to make her see that she has to earn a her place in the pack. If roles switch with her and Papi over time then that is just the way it is meant to be but I don't want to make Papi insecure in his invironment as he was here first. I certainly don't need to create any issues in the house. She is actually walking behind me when I take her on her walks. I have yet to take them both at the same time and probably won't introduce that until next week but when I put them out on the tie out to potty I always make sure Papi gets leashed up first, then Tiffany and I head out and call them to follow. As of now, Papi comes out and goes in ahead of Tiffany. So far today she isn't attempting much of the growling at me so that is a good thing. I am putting her on a diet though because when I weighed her today she weighs a whoping 13.7 pounds!!! Its obvious she is overweight, she is rather round and I don't want her to develop health issues....she already wheezes at times :/ Thank you all so much
