    ok thanks everyone. i know 'humping' is a display of dominence, as molli has been doing that to my puppy. (now named sammy)

    but another problem. today molli bites sammy when he gets close to her will she is eating or playing. i picked molli up and she bit me!! she barks at me when i play with sammy. (although i pay equal attention to molli)
    and she wont listen to me anymore. i will yell her name but all she does is try and chase the new dog. its like since i got sammy the 'devil' is coming out of molli. will she stop being so mean when she gets used to sammy??

    If Sammy is rough with Molli, don't pick one of them up right away. When she turns around and growls and nips quickly she is teaching him the dog command "that's enough". He should learn how to interact with dogs and what each correction means, eventually he'll learn to respect her when she's says she's had enough. Only seperate them when you think its getting too rough or when Molli needs a break from this pup.
