My dog is a bully?

I have three small dogs at home. Two Maltese and One Chinese Crested. The chinese crested is the most 'timid' when around people but he acts like a bully to other two. When I give them chewies...the crested will always try to take the others'. Many times, when he's on the sofa, and the Maltese walk across the room, the crested will suddenly growl and lunge at the Maltese...he doesn't really 'bite' them but he makes a lot of fearful noise. I've tried many things, grab him and say no when he gets prepared to lunge, Maltese sleep with me in bed and I am trying to crate the crested because he will growl if anyone or anything touches him when in bed. I haven't slept well for weeks since the crested is relatively stubborn...whine for hours. Other than that, he's the most timid dog! He doesn't like going outside and will hide under the tabe when I take out the leash. I'm not sure what to do now since the crested has grown to be a lot bigger than the Maltese....My dog is a bully?
First off walking your dog is the best medicine; it allows you to bond with your pup better then anything else. Walk them once or twice a day for 30 minutes each time.

You need to show him your are the leader of your pack and he isn't. Do NOT baby him or nurture the behavior when he is timid. Ignore him if he cries for you and don't pick him up to "protect" him when he hides. Let him conquer his fears. When he is aggressive towards other dogs in the household he needs to know that is not acceptable. By correcting him with a sound and firm touch when he growls is showing him you are not allowing that behavior. If he bites you or another dog you need to lay him down quickly on his side and with a firm grip hold him until he relaxes. Then show affection. My husband and I use Cesar Millan's methods for training ourselves and our boxers and it is amazing how well it works. People forget that dogs are dogs, NOT humans and work and think very differently. Try his site: www.dogpsychologycenter.comMy dog is a bully?
Sounds like he's trying to be alpha dog.



Also sounds like YOU need to learn how to be Alpha Pack LeaderMy dog is a bully?
i would let them go at eachother, because if he's just bluffing, thye can't actually hurt eachother, and usually he will get over it
I would in this instance contact a behaviourist to help you out...

If you don't know any in your area your vet can put you in touch with one..



Good luck and i hope you have harmony in your house soon
