[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 531140, member: 84"] She and Molly just had a good major play romp session in the backyard. Sadie was off leash because I was there to watch her. I played with Molly with her herding ball and Sadie learned really quickly that you can play with Molly who is play with the ball and rolling/chasing it, but you dare NOT touch the ball. Molly put her into her place more than once, Molly style. Which isn't mean, just some authoritative barking and stance, pup backed off immediately. I told her she was a good girl......and from then on Sadie just played with Molly and left the ball alone. Then they got along just fine. Which let them both get a good amount of exercise. When we came in, Sadie got a game of fetch...........Molly was too tired to care. lol Molly doesn't seem too stressed when I make extra effort to show Sadie she is boss. In fact, I see her being the way she was before Betsy started going after her. And Molly actually loves other dogs and used to enjoy having new additions to her family, whether they stayed or not. So maybe with me reinforcing the top dog deal with Sadie, maybe it makes Molly more confident in her role. So I've had a rather lengthy discussion with Travis about keeping Molly first in everything when I'm not here to do it and he's handling them both. Sadie will be in the crate much of that time, so his interaction will be limited. Last thing I'll introduce them together with is rawhides and food. My dogs have always shared rawhides.......actually played tugowar with them with each other, with me, with children......with no possessiveness of them. (there is always plenty) But I'll have to see how Sadie does with this since her arrival is so late in puppy hood. At the moment Molly is happily chewing her rawhide in the living room and Sadie in the kitchen. :) Now if I can just come up with an easy way for the potty thing in the dark...........we'll be good, it seems. I am forming a theory as to why and perhaps how Sadie wound up here with me. But I'll wait a while and see if it seems I'm right before saying anything. [/QUOTE]
