We have a new bully in the Allen house. Question to those of you with multiple bullies...Mo is bound and determine the new pup is supposed to walk under her. Im thinking its her way of mothering her but I dont want to hurt her. Any suggestions?? Also any suggestions for names are welcome too!

Sounds like a declaration of alpha to me.... Maybe try coins in a can or something to let her know its not acceptable play behavior? While telling her what is not good make sure you praise her when she is playing the right way :up:

I was thinking the same name and I see [MENTION=6311]Vikinggirl[/MENTION] has lots of Snow variations of names.

Snow & Mo sounds great together!

^^^ agreed. You can also use water in a spray bottle with a firm 'NO', and be sure to get the facial area.... most dogs pick up on this pretty quick.

She is precious.... since you have a Mocha --- how about Cocoa.

JeannieCO got me hooked on a show called "Once Upon A Time" and of course Snow White is a main character, and saying Snow out loud sounds so feminine :heart:

first, you new baby is Adore-A-Bull, and since you asked for name suggestions ...I like Frostie with the IE because she is a girl :) and I liked the suggestions above of Daisy, Petunia (could call her Tuni (2knee) for short and Snowflake (snow for short)

now for the other part, I would suggest using a body block with Mo when she stands over the baby I would instantly walk up to Mo say ATAT and move her away from the baby by walking my legs into her body and physically helping her to move away so she understands that you don't agree with that behavior, once she stays away from standing over the baby say good girl ... will take a lot on your part in the beginning so she understands what you want from her, but will give her a clear message. then also the verbal ATAT or what ever correction sound you use will be enough and she will remember oh yeah not suppose to do that and should move on her own just from the correction sound. will take a lot of patience and consistency but it will work :)
