Help with toy agression

[neko12_48767]

Its kind of agression with all of neko's stuff. When it comes to toys, food, bones He wants it all.

When sable and Neko are play and sable goes to get a drink of water. He will go and push her out of the way and start drinking and will not let her have any.

Its the same with toy.He put down a toy and sable goes to get it he will run back to it and grab it out of her mouth.

Its the same with bones she will take one and Neko will grab it of of her mouth.

I'm just scared because If sable does not give it up Neko bits at her, and I yell at Neko and put them in different spots but It does not work because Neko won't listen to me when sable around.

You need to be a leader to your dogs. You make the rules and set boundaries. They do not. Yelling and punishing does not make a good leader. Calm, decisive action, fairness and consistancy does. When Neko pushes Sable away from the water, slip a leash around his neck (just a slip loop if he's not wearing a collar... you want to be quick....but calm) and lead him perfectly politely out of the room. Isolate him for 5 minutes. Then bring him out again. If he does something like that again, take him out, away from the "pack" again. 5 minutes and try again. 5 minutes to a dog is a long time, so to be effective, he needs to see the contrast of being isolated and being together. In addition, when he is in the room with the other dog and he does chew or play with his OWN toy, be sure to reward him with a little treat from your pocket and praise. Be consistant or he won't catch onto the rules. Don't allow "bullying" because that's often the first step in your dog's opinion of himself as the one who has the right to make the rules. You are the leader of your dogs. Neither one of them is. Don't forget lots of praise and treats when you see wanted behavior.
