Pack Order Problem

[applesmom]

You've already recieved some excellent advice. I'll just add one more suggestion.

Since you are already completely aware that Jasper is extremely food agressive; don't ever give them any treats or food when they are in the same room together.

The rest of it they should be able to sort out for themselves under your watchful eyes.

Good Luck!

Barret is now larger then Jasper and he takes NO "doo doo" from Jasper. They play respectfully. The food situation is now calm and easy, with both dogs eating the same exact diet and at the same time with just the water bowl seperating them. What I did to solve the problem was to sit between them, and pick up each bowl with a quick switch...trading Barrets bowl with Jaspers! I did this several times during their feedings as I said calmly.."see same food, good food, good dogs! This took about five days, 3 feedings per day in small amounts and I took their bowls away as soon as they got close to finishing. Now when I put their bowls down for feeding time, they keep their minds on their own bowls and food and they finish without 1 peep, and I now "stand" watch instead of sitting.
