[QUOTE="klmno, post: 315186, member: 3699"] Is the pup doing anything that is really hurting the caviler or taking food from it or something intolerable? If not, try leaving them alone by themselves (you can sneak peeks into the room without them knowing it). I have adopted several rescue dogs, too, and a couple have been rather quirkish. My guess is the lab is just being puppyish and the cavilier is trying to "hold" his special place in the house. But time alone without the humans around has always lead to the dogs find their own comfortable way to get along with each other- even if it means "we are going to leave each other alone". I'd suggest not jumping in if one growls only as a warning to the other- not a growl like an attack is about to happen. (I would never let one actually hurrt or "bully" another.) The only time this didn't work was when I was fostering a herding breed that was much larger than my small house dogs. The herder did not mean to be aggressive but the nature of his play could have inadvertantly hurt a small dog so I never left them alone together. Your pup should still be small enough to not be able to hurt the cavilier. [/QUOTE]
