I then crated the little devil and had Sepp return to his bed. Faust continued to have a hissy fit in his crate, complete w/snarking, growling and barking at Sepp. Hackles raised, throwing himself around at the "unfairness" of it all.
Waited for 30 minutes until all was calm, let Faust out - he made a mad dash for the bed and Seppel again. I stepped on his leash just before he got Sepp by the ear.

You need to keep an eye on how the things changes in the pack and "support" the new "number 1" (doesn't matter WHO turns out of being "number 1" and what you are thinking of who should be "number 1")

Forgot every thing I thought she knew and just was pretty determined to have me kill her (she's only alive because she's cute). I think there's something about that age.
How does "true" DA manifest itself? At what age, usually?
Are there early "warning signs" (for lack of a better expression)?
How does one tell the difference between possible true aggression and/or "puppy-is-just-REALLY-full-of-himself"?
...Again that would depend on the individual dogIs true DA geared towards all dogs all the time, or just some dogs some of the time?

I mean, fine, first to eat, first out the door, whatever, but his own bed?
