Russells attitude

Russell and Bonnie seem to have it in for eachother and nothing seems to stop Russell from harrassing her. She has always been queen in dog world wherever we go and I assume Russ is challenging this but it is SO annoying. they always seem to have to go at it under our feet to, like if we are sitting at a table, and it makes such a comotion.
here's a video Im wondering if this looks like playful / aggressive / dominant behaviour to any of you?

Bonnie has never really liked playing with other dogs, she just runs around biting charlie when other dogs are here to play because shes jealous... we're not sure. PS she's a rescue so don't know her history before my folks got her but we have had her for at least 6 years now.

I agree but Bonnie doesn't seem to like it too much. Suki has outgrown a few of her playmates and they would act like Bonnie did when Suki would go to play with them. After awhile she learned that she couldn't play with them anymore and would move on. She forgets sometimes and they growl or bark at her and she'll back off.

i think its just playfullness as well, russell will soon learn what he can and cannot do

Looks like play to me, but it doesn't look like Bonnie is that keen. I would hope he will catch on and start to give Bonnie some space! Did they dig that hole btw???

nah that was a hole for my mum to plant a lemon tree haha. hence why she wanted them off the garden lol.


glad to hear it looks like play to all of you, but yes i hope he soon learns to back off and leave her alone, she doesn't want a bar of it.
