So we have 3 mini aussies, 8 yrs (Jazz), and 2 that are about 4 (DJ & Kizzy), all female (crazy I know) and have now brought Mysti (15 wks) into the mix. For the most part she does really well and accepts that she is the lowest in the group, getting treats last if we are feeding them as a group etc. But there are times if she's trying to play with them and they snap at her for either biting too hard or they just aren't interested in playing and telling her to back off, she will go back at them in an aggressive way. How do I correct this? Currently I am stopping her and giving her a big "NO!" and laying her down...? I've never had a dog do this before so I have no idea if this is correct. I have thought about letting them work it out between them but worry if Mysti wins (as my dog Jazz can be submissive at times and gives up easily) then it will just worsen the behavior...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
