We have a new puppy at home and I was very worried about the same thing as Colby, the older dog, is also a neck biter....colby seems to feel the need to jump up on larger dogs and goes to grab their necks cuz that what he can reech....i see Cammie,the little pup doing the same to him...after many hand ringing sessions by me, i have learned to let them work it out and just keep a watchful eye...the dogs at the dog park actually taught me this...colby keeps going back for more and hes a rough-houser...they all seem to tell each other when enough is enough...colby is used to playing with my brothers mastiff and aunts 5 labs so he learned to hold him own.. and cammie will whine when shes had enough from him and the minute he lets up shes in his face telling him whats what...go figure..but it took and still is taking some adjusting to hearing them "play" as colby was never very vocal and cammie is....also, recently colby has been sick and now it is very clear to me what is playing and what is leave me alone noise...sorry for the ramble...
