New puppy trying to be alpha
I have 3 dogs; one of which is a new puppy. One of my dogs was my first dog in the group and the one I want to be alpha. He gets depressed if I pay attention to another dog more than him. My new puppy is trying to take over as alpha. He's mean to my older dog, jumps on him, pushes him out of the way, etc. I feel sorry for my older dog and wonder if both him and the new puppy will eventually get depressed from wanting things to change. Anyone have any ideas? If it's always going to be this way, I am going to give the puppy back even though I love him very much. They both get along fine with the third dog.
