Subject: dominance = rank drive = a form of aggression
In reply to: Jordan 's message, "Re: in the wild, Tigers, lions, and wolves generally don't have 10 pups" on 23:55:30 05/23/09 Sat

They express their dominance by displaying aggression...and in this case it is possessiveness of food. Not a good trait.

Read this article... http://www.chimerakennels.com/animalbehavior.htm

The aggression is already an issue that is causing your pups to stand off to the side. They are not getting much work. Also, you can get the pulling and biting by using tug toys.
