The problem is, is when I scold Etna, Pig things she's in the wrong too and looks very sad. So I pet her and give her kisses to show her she's done nothing wrong, but Etna understands this as it not being her fault either and jumps up onto me and wants the affection too!

As for the food, I always watch over them and hold Etna back so that Pig is always capable of eating her meals completely. If I don't hold her back, Pig will easily give up her food without consideration of her own hunger.

I figure it has a lot to do with Pig knowing that Etna is a baby. She allows Etna to climb all over her and chew her ears, when she would never allow another dog to do the same!!!

Pig is a very well behaved dog, and I see Etna imprinting on her which is a great thing. I just hope that they can work out their own space without Pig being eaten too badly!

Thanks for the advice! I will definitely have to work on correcting Etna's behaviour without having the Piglet think it's all her wrong doing.
