I have a really sweet female golden retriever puppy who gets along great with everyone and everything. I have another dog, a full grown standard poodle female who is well trained and also gets along with everyone and everything. My older girl has lived with other dogs and is quite the alpha female (but not aggressive) and my golden knows that. The problem is, when I feed them, my golden will happily go about eating her food, then, even if my Standard is across the room, my golden will start growling and barking at the standard as if she feels threatened that the standard will take her food (I've started watching them while they eat and my standard does not take her food at least while I'm around). I'm eager to know the correct way to stop this before it becomes a big problem and leads to more aggression. I have started feeding them in seperate rooms but I don't know that that is solving the problem. Help?
