So.. as you know, we rescued a 10 month Bichon this past weekend. He weights 11lbs. We have our existing dog, an 8 month old Poodle Mix that weights 4lbs.
When they are munching on their bones (both identical), there are times the Bichon feels like taking the Poodles boone from her.... and he walks off with it and chews it in some other place of the house... the Poodle then kind of stares at him with that look of "Hey that's my bone"..... she can never get her bone back as he is a lot stronger and bigger than she is. Is this something I should correct? OR do I let them be dogs? He also does this with toys and stuff..... we just feel bad because she is so easily able to get "punked" by the bigger dog on everything they do.
