Super Boxer
Hi,
We just added another puppy to our family, she is 10 weeks and her older brother is 3 years old. Oscar (the older brother) Is a very sweet, calm and gentle boxer, he has always been very submissive to other dogs, and even seems to be that way with Jasmine (the new little one). Recently he has been growling at her when she tries to take his toys. I know this is probably normal behaviour, but when is it ok to tell him no or to be nice and when is it ok to tell her? Oscar is no Angel either he will take her toys too, but she doesn't growl, and I feel bad yelling at Oscar, because I don't want him to think that all of a sudden I'm against him and siding with the little one. Can you help me remedy the situation without making Oscar jealous?
