Torrey and Maple

[Leigh Stoller <stoller@fast.cs.utah.edu>]

Well, its seems lately that Torrey is a little unhappy. He seems a little
more jumpy and shy then he used to be. Partly its the invisible fence that
continues to be a thorn in his side (hmm, not a great metaphor!), but also
it seems like Maple is a bigger thorn. She is now about 40 pounds and
really asserting herself and trying (rather successfully) to dominate
Torrey. Torrey tends to put up with it even when its obvious he does not
want to be bitten, humped, or otherwise bugged. She really likes to bite at
his ankles! When he won't play she barks at him. Sometime she barks at us
when she does not get her way.

So, I am assuming that barking at us is bad and that we should scold her
for that. Other than that, is there anything we should be doing to keep
Torrey from becoming the weaker sibling who gets beaten up all the time.
You wouldn't let two siblings behave this way! Is it the same with dogs?
