Thanks for the Info Carrie! I guess in my heart I already knew what you are saying about Dusty showing some dominant traits. I just didn't want to really believe because Dixie is such a special girl to me and I don't want to see her challenged. I also don't want to see her distressed, so I will take the steps you recommend.

I knew you would know what was going on. I believe I may of been letting my emotions cloud the issue. Sometimes it is better to get outside opinions to remove the veil that covers our eyes.

I will let you know how it goes. I will only have one problem with the feeding and that is I am hand feeding Dusty his kibble since I am preparing him for his first obedience show. He has to do his obedience with me and then his food is the reward. Perhaps I will feed him half his kibble the way you suggested and use the rest for training. I don't want to over feed him. That is why I use the Kibble instead of treats.

The one thing that makes me laugh about the whole thing is, I need to be more dominant. I sometimes think I am way to aggressive and dominant. It is nice to know I'm not! LOL

Thanks again for the advice. I really do appreciate it.
