It is normal for one dog to be dominate over another as long as he isn't attacking her outright. You should use the NILIF training to be Alpha over both and support the alpha male by feeding, petting and treating him first. Fights start when the owner tries to give the underdog attention etc first. Don't pet the female or baby her when she moves. More exercise will help as well cuz a tired dog is a good dog.

I have 2 chi's. One is 8 years old and is a fixed birl and the other is 1 1/2yrs old neutered boy. No matter where the girl is, sitting on a chair, lying in her bed, the boy will go over and growl and the female will get up and move and the boy will take her place in the chair. IS THIS NORMAL???? Do I let this continue??? Do I stop the male from bossing the female and moving her and taking over?? Thank you for your help!!! Diana
