- Tell us about yourself: I adopted a Dutch Shepherd mix (without knowing what she was) from the SPCA here in Victoria BC and am now trying to learn everything I can about this breed. My husband and I work from home most of the time so I thought it was time to get a puppy! We have his 2 boys here half the time and we wanted a nice family dog.
Sugar looks like a miniature Dutch Shepherd with floppy ears, and has every ounce of DS traits in her little body!
I hope to learn from other DS owners and share doggy experiences. - Location: Victoria BC

Re: puppy annoying older dog
Im having the same trouble with my 6-7month old Dutch Herder. When shes playing with the two mali's in the house she jumps all over them licking and biting there muzzles, legs. Doesnt leave them alone, I try to stop her but she continues to do it. One of the mali's is very high drive and does snap at her Layla will submit to her but then immediately starts again.

Re: puppy annoying older dog
All of the previous advise applies.
I have lots of dogs, and have had LOTS of DS fosters. Especially in cases with a young dog and healthy adults, I let them work it out 99.0% of the time. I won't let a puppy punk a senior or someone who can't back them off. But usually adult dogs start with the lowest level of correction that stops the behavior, and increase in intensity when needed. In this case, they just haven't found what works just yet. If you interfere all of the time, then they may never find what works because they may inhibit their behaviors so as not to upset you. So I back off and let the adults school the kids.

Re: puppy annoying older dog
Tried it with no interference and layla quickly got the message and left both dogs alone with no fights.
