One big rule my trainer told us. Is never ever give affection at the same time. Causes them to battle of the most or best spot. Ends up causing many dog fights. My two Danes And the chi know if one is getting love they must wait till they are asked over. With my three dogs two are rescues one is a very dominant female I have never had a dog fight. Just a piece of advice. Take it or leave it You really need to be the boss, letting them growl and force thief way is telling the It's ok to be aggressive and it will get worse Rebecca Sent from my iPhone On Mar 15, 2012, at 2:43 AM, diana roller <[email protected]> wrote: >Hi Everyone, >I have a 7 year old girl (Kiko)that is spoiled rotten and has ruled the house. >I have never had any problems with her nor have ever raised my voice to her. >I just adopted a 7 week old male puppy (Pawko).
