Wow, that sounds exactly like what happened when we brought Bailey home. We have a Beagle almost 3, and Bailey is exactly the same. We have had him for 6 weeks and just recently decided that we would let them establish pecking order, and allow Copper to deter Bailey's behavior in dog ways, instead of treating Bailey like a new baby. It seems to be getting better, so that Bailey no longer takes treats from Copper and they both seem to be getting along better, without Copper feeling so helpless to protect what is his. So I guess the only advice I can give you is to allow them to work it out (kinda like kids) but supervise closely to ensure no one gets hurt. We also make sure that Copper gets some alone time daily to let him know that we all still love him too. Good luck.. to you and if you find something that works wonders I would love to hear it too.......I would love to see pics of your babes, do u have some on here?.. |
