Candy,

I went back to read your original response & I really don't
think you need to chastized for it at all. Sometimes it's better
to "call a spade a spade". Many people who have small breed
dogs tend to treat them differently than an average or large
size breed. A small dog is every bit as much a dog in everyway
as the bigger breeds & should be treated in obedience matters
exactly the same way. They should learn manners at an early
age. I feel sorry for the older dog in this situation, if the little
dog is allowed to rule the roost. You are such a kind & knowledgable dog trainer and I know you meant your advice
to only help with this "jelousy/dominance" problem. Please
cut youself some slack.
