We had a red doxie for 14 years. After we lost him, we acquired a pomeranian. We now have 3 poms. We have 2 males and one female. The boyz like to think they are in charge but Sissy puts them in their place everytime. If the boyz start to fight or fuss with each other, she barks at them to stop. It is so funny. She knows she is a girl. If one of the boyz bring a treat in the living room she will roll over on her back and bat her eyelashes at them and they will leave the treat for her and go get another one for themselves. Little dogs think they are big because we carry them around and they look down on the other animals.Good luck with the training.
