Ok, so Debo and I are attached at the hip. That's my little guy right there. We are very close.
We got our other puppy, Jass (a bullmastiff), a couple of weeks ago and he won't let me spend any alone time with her. She'll come up and want me to play with her/pet her and Debo can be chewing on his bone, and if he sees her by me, he litterally runs up, gets in between us and starts nipping at her neck. He almost wants to fight her off of me. He gets all excited and wants me to pet him and basically show him that I 'still love him'. He gets very aggressive towards her if she's near me. He will also sometimes get between me and whomever I'm hugging (my son, fiancee) but not as bad.
He also seems to be trying to mark his dominance as the alpha dog. They both seem about equal, b/c lil' Jass, even though she's not yet 3 months is quickly catching up on his size and not scared of him one bit!! lol. When we first brought her home, she let him know she wasn't playing when he tried to test her several times. She can definitely hold her own. They play fight alot, and Debo seems to be more aggressive and barking at her if she sits on "his" patio chair outside or if anyone is petting Jass. He was having more "accidents" the first week and a half (I guess marking territory) and he just won't let her have any attention. We litterally have to split them up when we want to have some alone time with Jass, b/c he'll be all up in our face, like "What about me!!!???".
I'd like to have everyone in the same room at the same time and have some individual time with each. I'm not sure what to do, any suggestions? Maybe it will just come in time?
