I have a scottie. he's 2 & 1/2. i have had him since he was 11 weeks. he's the best dog EVER. bar none. last month we got a cat. (who is also about 2) owen loves cats. always has. he adores clive. one little issue though. if clive walks by owen's bone owen growls. i have been following the alpha dog mentality since clive got here (even though he's a cat) feeding the dog first, letting the dog in and out first. greeting him first etc...
any thoughts on how to get owen to NOT growl and be protective of his bone (as if the cat would want it anyway. ha!).
should i scold him for that behaviour? he's so not agressive otherwise (except the occasional warning bark at a dog stealing his ball at the park)
thanks in advance for any advice!
