I have a 2yr old DDR that always want inside when he is in he has a dominate attitude in the past few weeks. He gets plenty of exercise as him and and my 4 yr old czech play all day long. I know DDR's take time to mature is this maybe him comming out of the puppy stage?? Nothing in the house has changed such as new additions or people. Can I get some input please?????

Both dogs have always ate out of same bowl even though they had seperate bowls, DDR is being angery around food bowl, pushes czech out of getting any attetion from family. Once they go back outside then they both act like puppies. No change in obiedence they still listen and obey. I really don't think he is getting doggie from playing all day as DDR is always the one pushing the czech to play
Are these 2 males, what age?
I know that both o fmy males 3 y & 1 y are fine outside together and on walks , at the park on the field but once they are in the house i feel tension between the two, I alternate the 2 in the house now so that no fights follow.They both know I run things but they want to settle other things between each other I rather they avoid. Is it like that for you kevin? http://s141.photobucket.com/albums/r77/cadogancna/

I would definitely feed them seperate, as in, not even being able to see each other OR feed them in their crates. Letting them "share" anything is asking for trouble IMHO.
What is your goal with the dog? Do you exercise the dog or are you thinking that being with your other dog is enough? If you think the latter, you are mistaken. Your dogs may play but that is NOT the correct exercise the dog needs to see you as pack leader and follow your rules. Also, I do not agree with leaving dogs alone together because they need "friends". I came home to ripped up dogs one time, just once was all it took, and $600 at the vet. These dogs got along fine, or so I thought.
It does not make a difference who initiates play. The dog is "doggie". By this we mean that the other dog is more important to him than you are which is why he is acting the way that he is. He has claimed the pack leader position and I would recommend researching and taking back your title.
Just my two cents....Good Luck
Until The Tale of the Lioness is told, the Story will Always Glorfy the Hunter
Same situation except I have two males ( DDR is 2 /czech is 4). The bad thing is if I seperate them for any time they will not eat or play they will just lay down and wait for the other one to show back up.
