Dominance! Dogs even though they come in many different sizes don't really recognize other dogs that are bigger as being necessary the dominant one of the pack. Even if a dog is the smallest one in the pack they can sometimes have the more dominant personality and will try to establish ther place within the pack. Also even though your dogs may see you as the dominant member of the pack there still will be a pecking order established within the rest of the pack. It's what's called a "Pack Structure" and it is a instinctual thing for them to do.

Well a lot of little dogs try to attack my dog, and a lot of the time the reason is that the little dog is just way too dominant. This dominance problem arises because a lot of people who own the little dogs let them be the alpha dog, whereas this is impossible with big dogs whom you definitely have to train, and train well. And also, what else is your dog going to hump? You??

The smaller the dog, the smaller the brain.

He doesn't realize that he is smaller than the others. It has to do with being the dominate male

their teeth are growing in and it's the most annoying feeling... not that i know but it's just like baby's that start crying if they have nothing to gnaw on....
just give him many little things like bones and doggy toys that are just for tearing....
he can't help it... it's what my dog did at first but hell be done in a few months

He wants to be alpha male. He wants to think he is in charge at all times.
