 Fighting Yorkies
Hey Everyone,
I am having a problem. Recently my puppies have been fighting. Gixxer is 4 months and male. America is 3.5 months and female. We have had gixxer since he was 10 weeks old. Then three weeks later we got america. We recently moved to a larger house and a yard for them to play in. They play nice most of the time. But lately america has started to snap at gixxer. She dominates the food dish. This evening we gave them dinner. After they ate the entire plate we added alittle more. Gixxer went to the living room. When he returned america was just staring at the plate. Gixxer went to smell the plate and she growled and snapped at him. I have a feel ing they are trying to establish the alpha role. But how do I let them know I am the Alpha male in this house? And how do I keep the peace? My normally happy little man is becoming timid. He has even started to cower around me, and I don't try to scare theminto listening.
