Its also about the ranking of a dog in the family. Make sure your older dog has a higher rank. Always put her food bowl down first and then the puppy's. Pet her first and then the puppy. If not, they might get in to fights and arguments just because they are trying to sort out their rankings in the family. If you sort it out for them, there is no need for them to sort it out themselves. I know this sounds funny but dogs take their ranking highly and funtions according to it. To us, we think it is jealousy but I am not sure if jealousy exist in their dictionary. Its more to being how high in the packing order. Hope this helps. |
