Operation "Make It or Break It" has begun. Echo has started our version of house arrest or better defined as the children's game Simon Sez. He can't move without being told. Somewhere along the line our seventy pound puppy has gotten the idea that he is the BDIH (big dog in house).
The goal is to establish a new pecking order where Echo is clearly at the bottom. He must obey all commands and only act on our commands. Essentially we are his master and he is our dog. He is the last to eat and walk through doorways. Indiscriminate playtime has been canceled and toys placed out of reach; we control his every activity. A few hours of solitary confinement to top things off. While Echo plays Simon Sez, Buddy is free to do as he wishes and receives all the perks of being the BDIH.
It sounds worse than it is. However, this is very serious. We may have created a monster by interfering when Echo was younger and Buddy was "teaching" him who the boss was.
