When my other dog "money"passed away My Aggie whos 9 years old was all alone. she is a aussie mix and was all alone so after a few months we adopted a little terrier mix named Bama shes a year and a half now.. well from the first she would run and bite Aggie in the face I think she might wanna be top dog. Why is my older dog just letting her do that? Aggie was a follower because my dog that passed away she was the alpha dog. Maybe Aggies just sweet she lets that pup Bama eat her food and takes Food right out of Aggies mouth she bugs the hell out of Aggie. When I walk in Bama comes running to the door and shell turn back and jump and bite Aggies face. Its very annoying to me and Aggiie what can I do? She doesnt bite hard but still its annoying. Why does she do this? Plus her being a terrier and shes wild as a buck. And very stubborn she digs under the pool too... Help I have a devil dog?

    Maybe the younger one is trying to be more dominant. Or maybe the younger one is simply immature.

    I think your right about her wanting to be dominate. plus Bama is a crazy dog who runs constantly doing something. Shes stubborn and never listens to me... what can I do I try and try with training shes just nutty sometimes.And wants to do what she wants to do.

    Sounds like she just has a lot of energy. I view dogs a lot like people. They each have their own personality. I have had a dog that was the alpha, then had a second introduced that was also an alpha... very problematic. The real problem was the second dog was much bigger and her dominance was winning, which the first dog had trouble understanding. As an owner you are the dominant one, but under you there is another hierarchy and the dogs will recognize this one also.
