KING OLLIE HOUSE of BULLDOG
Well-known member
Our Welsh Terrier died two weeks ago. For fifteen years she was the Alpha dog. She was not a benevolent ruler either. She ruled by sheer feisty domination. All the dogs were under her command and they knew it and obeyed her rules.
Fast forward to the present. Rico is is a nine year old Havanese. Taffy ruled him with an iron paw and he steered clear of her. Since Taffy died Rico has begun peeing on Daphne. Usually on her hips on backside because hey, he's short and Daphne is at least double his size. This morning he somehow managed to pee on the top of her white head! I have no clue how he managed that.
It's never a lot of pee, always just enough so we all know he was there. I understand that he is marking her and most likely is trying to assume the top dog throne. My question is, should I now leash him and try corrections or just keep wiping Daphne down Until they've got this straightened out? We have the invisible fence so the dogs are free range. As far as I know he does not pee on Poncho the five year old Chihuahua. Both males are neutered.
Thanks in advance.
