the last hour, since the dominance issues with our pup were addressed, has been very quiet and mellow. i did have to reiterate who was in control. it is amazing the noises a dog will make, unharmed, when their authority is eliminated. i should have done this weeks ago. i just didn't recognize it. i was told by the breeder that she was 'strong' and that she 'held her own with her brothers.' these are good things, in my mind, but she needs to understand the pecking order: she is at the very bottom. period.
