I read all of these and I think the only one I agree with is Ringo at least he has somewhere to go. As my mom once told me God rest her soul, just because he/she's a puppy shouldn't mean they can do no wrong. We should do the same thing with them as we would do with our kids (and they do understand it just takes a little longer) teach them manners and respect. This is what she did and it worked for her. She bought a small squirt gun and hide it so Snoop couldn't see it. Every time Snoop pestered Meeko she would squirt him, and this is the clue-lol she didn't let Snoop see it was her. Snoop started thinking it was Meeko and started backing off. Sometimes if she didn't have a water gun she would roll up a news paper or whatever was handy that would startle him. Once in a while if Meeko went over to Snoop mom would squirt him just a little and he began to associate it with Meeko. Mom did the same thing with a cat and rabbit we had. The cat used to eat rabbits, when mom got done the rabbit was chasing the cat. Meeko didn't need to grow a back bone mama was his - don't you just love um!! It's worth a shot!
