Big dog snaps at small puppy over food/bed. Need female trainer.
I would be worried as well with the size difference. This is not a situation that is going to be easy to fix or to convey via a post. I would recommend to find a female trainer as the trainer will teach you to identify the beginning signs of Nina getting upset. The trainer will then teach you how to react to modify Nina's behavior. Otherwise I would recommend to pick up a book about dog behavior and begin to familiarize yourself with dog body language and how to read what they are saying. This will help you to get a better handle on what the dogs are saying. I hope this helps to point you in the right direction!

My dog nips people when picked up. How do I stop this behavior?
Most dogs feel uncomfortable when off the ground. This can lead to nipping or biting. The easiest solution is to not pick him up. If you must pick him up or have others pick him up, gradually acclimate him to this. Be sure to support his entire body and hold him for ever increasing periods of time. Praise and reward him as he progresses. If he wiggles or nips, put him down and wait until he settles down before trying again but don't force him.

What's the best comfortable muzzle for a dog that nips chickens?
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! A basket muzzle allows you to keep it on for longer periods of time as they can breathe with it on and are more comfortable so that would be best in your case. Have a good night!

Why does my dog wake me up at night but doesn't need to go potty?
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! This is likely just him trying to get your attention. There may be something in the house or just outside that is bothering him so I would check on that. There may be a cat trying to get his attention at night. Best of luck!
