Anyone have any idea how to get a 7 month old puppy to stop being a grouch in bed? When my older dog (a 3 year old Shih Tzu) comes near my Yorkiechon whenever she's sleeping in our bed with us (1/2 yorkie 1/2 bichon...who looks & acts more like a Yorkie than anything) ... Abbie, my Yorkiechon goes berzerk and lunges at her. We've tried "no!!" grabbing her, holding her away, holding her on her back, everything, she's hard to hold onto when she's determined to "kill!". I fear for my Shih Tzu's eyes when my little one lunges at her like that.

She's even grumpy when WE come near her when she's in her own bed. Growling at us, snapping, and giving us an evil look!

Whats up with the grumpy pup, and any ideas on nipping this in the bud early?

This ONLY happens when she's sleeping. It can be in our bed or hers.
