    I need some advice on aggression in a Pekingese.She is 5 years old.  She is showing food aggression and some dominance issues. Does anybody have any advice on how to regain being the dominance? Thank you.

    Yup - read these:
    "Mine!" A Guide to Resource Guarding in Dogs" by Jean Donaldson
    "How to Be the Leader of the Pack and Have Your Dog Love You for It" by Patricia McConnell.  Both should be on dogwise.com or amazon.

    My family had two Pekes.  I love the breed.  They can be as feisty, or more feisty than just about any dog out there.  They respond very well to gentle, positive reinforcement.  If you get tough with them, you're in for a mental fight that will drive you bonkers.  They are very very stubborn. 

    Start on the NILIF program and your Peke will be alot happier for it, and so will you!
