[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 595149, member: 1550"] Ok, so update is we've been using various gentle but firm methods to get Chloe to stop bossing Damian around and she's been a lot better. I have not had many female dogs, but the one I did have was also the dominant one. Man, the boys gave her a wide berth...lol. But she did know WE were dominant over her.She was a great family pet and very compliant to our wishes. She just thought she was Queen Bee of the three dogs. I have read that female dogs tend to be more dominant. Chloe is NOT vicious nor does she bite Damian or fight with him. And now, since she's backed off, Damian seems to feel more in his comfort zone and will "correct" her again. They do love to play together and basically get along pretty well. I was concerned because of Chloe's behavior that one night. Fortunately, she never did it again. I don't want what happened with my other dogs to happen to Damian and Chloe and, if necessary, will hire a dog trainer to avoid it. For those of you who know I took my other three dogs to a sanctuary because they did not get along at all and peed and pooped in the house, I have some news as I've kept up with the sanctuary. Both Prince, my marker, and Rufus, who used to fight with Prince all the time, found forever families. Prince and Rufus are both only children, which is best for them, and Prince stopped marking there after 24 hrs. Of course, there is no other male dog to mark for...no dog at all. Rufus is doing great as an only child and is reported to spend most of his time sleeping on the couch in the sun. Sounds like our boy! He has not marked either and is more relaxed not having to compete for attentnion. Lucky, my lab/cocker mix, has Cushings Disease and since a vet owns the sanctuary is as healthy and happy as could be expected. They report she loves the volunteers at the sanctuary an d we have plans to go out and visit her soon. [/QUOTE]
