My younger boy is 11 months old and has been with us for 3 months now. He is asserting himself, challenging his older brother. I have to maintain a strong leadership role to maintain order. Don't let Izzy push Twilight around. | |

| I have a similar issue... Treasure is 2 and Olive is 5 months. Treasure is very passive aggressive and Olive is the bully. Treasure stands her ground and won't let Olive dominate her but she seldom retaliates. She's not as playful as Olive. Olive thinks she's playing sometimes when she's tormenting her sister. I've seem Treasure snap back at her so I'm not too concerned. I keep Olive in her crate when I'm at work and Treasure gets to run free. I don't know if it's mean or wrong, I just don't trust them alone together yet. I hope it gets better in the future. |

So which ever one is causing the most stress you either work it they go last or they go first. Which ever way it settles things down. Plus I start Nothing in life is free with them. Dogs do not look at the world as fair or equal they look at it totally as resource based and what is in it for them for comfort and benefit. How do I get that to work for me the best. JL

My boys spend very little time without human supervision, maybe 2 hours a day. Still, I won't take any chances of the boys playing WWF while they are alone. Even if they don't fight, they get each other going, tearing around the room and flying off the furniture. I have 2 xpens connected to make a large area for Teddy, and Max has free run of the rest of the "romper room." The boys still enjoy each other's company and find ways to play through the fence. | |

We have made progress too: Max allows me to pick up Teddy any time for any reason. I can hold Teddy and give him a kiss. Max is feeling a lot more secure. | |
