I had a similar issue when Gizmo was younger with him and my older Aussie. Gizmo would pounce on her when she was sleeping or chase her and bite her back legs. She is too sweet to defend herself so I stepped in with a firm "NO!" everytime Gizmo did it. He eventually stopped but it took a couple of months. Maybe you can just try that and see if it works. Or taking her to an obedience class might help her understand you are the boss and no means no. Stefanie

Jimmy will be sleeping and she ponces on him. i cant decide if she is playing or trying to boss him around. every time he has a toy she torments him until he walks away. jimmy hates to be touched and she does it on purpose. that i know is playing. but it s torment for jimmy.
