Hi !
Brodie is my 4 year old cockapoo. He's always been protective of me and his food. I tried to coach him away from that at a young age, but it's always been a little bit around. Yesterday I adopted Gracie, a cockapoo puppie.
Brodie, is being very jealous of her, and just plain old mean. He hasn't bit her, so far it's all growling and barking. Brodies always been friendly to other dogs in the house. I'm not sure how to fix this. I've been working hard to be the pack leader all along, but i need some specific advice on what to do.
It may sound silly, but i've actually been barking back at him when he's growling at Gracie. I'm feeding him first, and giving him loads of love and affection.
Help!!
Thanks
