Who's alpha?

I know, I'm a MENTOR, I should KNOW this...and I thought I did.

Here's the situations we have with Kenzo and Kika.

Kika came in to the house and established being alpha dog.

If Kenzo wants to play with Kika, she'll bear teeth at him and sometimes will growl. Kenzo will always back off eventually. Kika doesn't play much, so this happens at least twice a day (when I'm home to see it).

Now, because of this, Kika has always been alpha in our mind.

But with Kenzo...

Kika will be sitting on the couch next to me (nightly) and Kenzo will jump on the couch and sit on her. She wont even move.

Not only will he sit on her, but he tries to almost push her off the couch!

And your opinions are.......????

Sounds like Kika is truly the alpha, but Kenzo is going to try his placement every chance he gets. If she doesn't snap at him for sitting on her, then he'll take it one step further until she puts a stop to it. He knows exactly how much he can get away with! :wink:

YES HE DOES! And it's as if he's saying, these are MY people. I was here FIRST. I don't get it but that's OK as long as we have a happy family!

Thanks Hobbit! :D

Kika is. She doesn't move when he sits on her. Every night Kato is in my spot getting dog hair all over my pillow. You better believe he moves when I lay down. He traps my husband's legs all night instead. :lol:

Unfortunately, I have a man that rules my house.Thor is alpha in my house even though he is the youngest. Emmitt thinks he should be so the two of them butt heads from time to time. Emma and Jaster could care less and leave Thor alone but boy watch out if Emmitt tries to even set foot near Thor's bed.


OH! A bear fight! :wink:

No, he sits on her length wise. Not cross wise.

He's a fruit loop...
