Hi Todd,
Thanks for replying. I had a feeling the answer would be to remove the puppy rather than the child but just wanted to make sure. What I hadn't thought about though was not reprimanding Alex whilst Chester is around.
Naughty as he may be, Chester does have a lovely nature & is bright. Now we're doing things the right way his behaviour is changing quite quickly. Our other spaniel (Mindy, aged 2) also does a good job of keeping him in check.
Things will become easier as both Alex & Chester get a little older. It's just a bit difficult helping them both to grow & develop at the same time but in different ways. Life's certainly not boring at the moment though!
Thanks again for your advice.
Regards,
Vanessa
