I need to ask when he "Runs" at someone .... is he leashed and you hold him back? Is he lunging to Bite?
If he is that is already aggression and needs to be addressed immediately
As for your other dog and them getting along
be careful about the always feeding first thing.... that might set up even more competition
What I do with my two dogs is always feed them together but never let them take food away from the other
same thing is when ever you play with one .... you play with the other so your little tyrant will get the idea ... hey... when ever the other dog is around I get good things |
When he runs at someone its only in the house and if he thinks someone is yelling or being mean to me he'll run at them like "hey what are you doing to my mom"
And if I call one of the kids to me he'll run in front of them and jump up on them so they can't get to me. What I did today was got some treats and called the kids to me and then handed them a treat to give to Joel so he'll learn when I call a kid he gets a treat, so I'm working on that.
Also when he doesn't want Rosco getting something he kinda snaps at him and I say "No" loudly and he does stop. I thought Rosco would put him in his place but he doesnt care when Joel is mean to him, lol
