We have a slightly similar situation and I wondered if your solution is the same. We have a 2yr old estrela with a number of behavioural issues with strangers coming to the house but with dogs off the lead and outside he is brilliant. Just last night we were given a puppy to look after from a friend who has personal problems ( the owner not the dog ! ) its a 14week old Bichon Frise. Our dog is 12st and big !. 95% of the time his is brilliant withe puppy but it seems ( maybe understandably ) he gets a bit fed up and when the puppy goes to sniff him when he is lying down he starts growling

A number of people have said this is normal dog pack stuff but what do you think.. should we stop it now or allow them to sort it out ?

Thanks
