Hi everyone,
Well I think we have Koda's barking problem under control - I got him a bigger kennel, which has helped, and I ordered the knuckle bones online (thanks for the advice here). In the meantime I've been freezing canned dog food in the Kong and that keeps him pretty busy.
My new question is - Koda and Casper love to play, but sometimes Koda gets a little rough. He's bitten down pretty hard on Casper, usually on his ears or a hind leg. He's caused Casper to yelp and run away on more than one occasion. I've never seen Casper react like that, so it must hurt. I've been reluctant to get in the middle of them, thinking they would work it out for themselves, and also I wouldn't know what to do if I did. Once or twice I yelled 'no' at Koda when I thought he was hurting Casper.
Should I get in the middle, and if so, what should I do? Casper loves to play but would never hurt a flea (literally) and is very gentle, so no chance of him sticking up for himself.
