     what a cutie!!!!!!! I've never lived in a multi-dog household, but I would personally supervise and let them figure it out, unless puppy wasn't getting the hint and then I would step in.

    Oh boy!!!!  She is so cute!  I cant wait to see and hear  how she is growing up.   I just fell in love with Dance the first time, cant wait to see more Lilith pics.   The sweet B&W sleeping pic is so sweet!

    She's so cute, congrats!

    I too let my dogs correct, within reason.  My Schutzhund dogs I have to make sure are not over-corrected.  It's important for them to grow up thinking they are The $hit, they need to believe they are the top dog and the world revolves around them even when it obviously doesn't.  Now, that is not an excuse to be completely void of rules and boundaries, simply that with my Schutzhund dogs I have to use more management, I have to intervene a little bit quicker before the other dogs take matters into their own hands.  For a normal pet, as long as the corrections are fair I have no problems letting dogs be dogs.

    Lol thanks everyone! Today is going great! I have been letting Skyline correct her and been moving Lilith away from Rickards when she takes it to far. Ricki doesn't correct her and Lilith LOVES his tail lol. So theres been some yelping, but no blood or anything major. Today I took Skyline and Lilith outside together and Skyline was actually playing with her and then when Lilith started to bite too much Skyline would just run circles around her lol. They both had alot of fun and as soon as we came inside Lilith fell fast asleep. 

    And Lilith is really picking up on the clicker training, I'm really impressed. It'll take some time for her to get used to it for potty training, because when I click after shes peed she just bolts before I can give her a treat lol. But for indoors, shes already sitting without constant luring with the treat. Shes really smart girl. I think I'm going to start working on doggy zen with her, I did that with Skyline when she was a puppy and it worked really well. So I'm going to try it with Lilith too.

    She is adorable!! Glad to hear things have been going well so far. I'm sure she and the Poms will work things out in no time. As for the tail, when I brought the Dobermans home as puppies, both of them were fascinated with Dance's tail. Neither one would leave it alone unless it was still... which wasn't often, as Dance's tail is always wagging, lol. I put some Bitter Apple on it as a deterrent, since she wasn't correcting them, and my redirecting them didn't work well for that particular behaviour. The Bitter Apple worked though, and they soon learned that they were not to bite or pull tails (on any dog, not just Dance).

    She's totally adorable! I too, let the dogs correct the puppy unless the puppy is NOT getting it, then intervention.

    Squee!! Look at her go! I'm in wuv!

     Thanks everyone! I think I'm going to try the bitter spray. She is so relentless with Rickards, I pretty much have to keep him on the other side of the gate now, because he just doesn't know what to do with her and she tries to drag the poor guy around. I feel so bad for Lilith though, shes been crying alot and I think its because she feels crummy and obviously misses her family. She got her 1st set of vaccines and microchip on wednesday then early this morning my DH ran to the vets to get Revolution for all the dogs because Lilith has Canine Lice! Theres alot of adult lice so it looks like she has had it for a while. So thats probably not helping things. I did call her breeder about it, she was shocked because she never saw anything on any of the dogs and neither did the vet the pups saw on Wed. I never noticed either on the first day. I noticed by chance last night when I was brushing her back leg and saw something weird and I recognized it as lice...  SO GROSS by the way! Turns out several of Lilith's siblings have Lice. The vet thinks the pups picked it up when Lilith's breeder took them outside to play. She lives in the middle of no where so theres alot of wildlife around. I'm not upset though and she felt really bad. But it will take about four weeks for all the lice to die *sigh*

    I am having alot of fun with her though. She is playful and cuddly and really smart. Its been fun training her, she catches on really fast. I've been making her work for every kibble so far too, either by making her sit, teaching her not to bite (using that clicker training video I told you guys about a little while back) or practicing doggy zen. I want to repeat those things for the next few weeks and then try teaching her something else. I really need to hunt around online for more about training, I seem to have forgotten how to teach quite a few things. *sigh*

    Well, time to start supper while Lilith is asleep Big Smile
