I know you say that you are giving Chip lots of attention so that he doesn't feel left out, but he could still be doing it as an attention getter. Fifi did it for a couple days after we got our bulldog pup. Then once she realized that the pup was going to stay and that she was still top dog she stopped. My dh said she was doing it to get the puppy in trouble... lol. Good luck. Hopefully he will stop soon. ~Lacey
