Yep, as you can imagine you can’t just give one dog a treat and not the other. So in accordance with pack mentality I always toss the treat to the old dog first then the young dog. Although Hemis eyesight is deteriorating to the point if I toss the treat she now misses catching them on occasion. Anyway point being big dog always is served first, thus reinforcing and complying with pack mentality. I will have to ponder this aspect as I did not think thru the ramifications last night of the dust up. I was more focused on the patch up! This is just one of the prices we pay with two breeds that are bred to be warriors and very protective. This little Mal just has so much personality and pure athleticism that I am contemplating rescuing another one. But then I think back to when Hemi was two and holy smokes what a force. I thought I had a hurricane on my hands. Thanks for letting me vent guys.
