Will he ever stop?!?

• Will he ever stop?!? addicted2rescue Posted : 6/12/2006 3:52:57 PM I have a 2 yr old poodle mix puppy. I have had him for about a yr now. About 3 weeks ago I got a pit mix puppy. Bear (the poodle) was, as expected, not too happy about this. He went after the puppy a few times and after the puppy cried he would walk away. Recently it seems like he is getting more aggressive. He goes after the puppy for no reason at all, he just runs across the room and attacks. He doesn't even stop when the puppy cries. We have to stand up and then he runs away. But, sometimes he will play with or ignore the puppy. They are both males. The puppy is about 9-10 wks.And its not like Bear is used to being the only dog. When  I first got him I was living with my mom and she has a lab mix, and now where I live we have a beagle mix. Both of them are females.

It's a baby or puppy. Do not allow this dog to attack the pup. And same goes for the pup if he goes for the older dog.   PM Mic or Anne of Spiritdogs to get the correct way of handling this. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
