I agree with SusieL. I would never let a dog keep on behaving in that way.

I'm thinking Jade will take so much, no matter how tolerate she is,chances are eventually she'll put him in his place.Wouldn't want to be intervening if it got to that point!!He's still very young, but he still needs to know that this is unacceptable behaviour.

From the video it looks far to tight, harnesses are not designed to be left on 24/7.....as for removing it for baths.... How often is that, unless you are bathing her everyday, you are not removing it enough.

Leaving it on for your convenience , is a poor excuse

It doesn't seem to bother her, but I guess if it's that big a deal... I can take it off and leave it by the front door

I am with my dogs all the time, and much like you see here, am here to supervise and make sure nothing gets out of hand.

She's being (VERY, VERY) good about this and I think she does deserve a reprieve. I'll begin stopping this, it's moderately annoying anyway.

Thanks for all input.. and please, by all means.. keep it coming!

Yes, you're right. I didn't want to step in because I've always thought that the big dog will put pup in his place when she's had enough, but she just doesn't seem to have the temperament to do so anymore.

I'll start hanging the harness near the front door with the leashes, and hope nobody moves them or something. Also, I did crate him for a while once it began to get super annoying.

It's strange because at first, she'd really try and correct him and is normally not such a tolerant dog, but now she doesn't really bother because he doesn't react to it well anymore. I guess it's time for me to step in.

Thanks.

Yep. Agree with the others. I would interview...b
Just by distraction. Call him away, do some training with him and then get something else tasty and chewy to occupy him in his crate so jade can have some time with just you. Remus is getting to that annoying little boy stage too..lol. He has started to ignore Tonks telling him to stop so I distract him....or Tonks goes and get something she really values so she an give him a real telling off if he comes near it...which he'll listen to. Her serious tellings off tend to be quiet...and he knows he has over stepped the mark.

Wouldn't let Betty annoy Mollie like that she is told no and given something else to do if she gets on Mollie's nerves. Living in a flat we can't allow all that barking at all.

Harnesses are taken off when we come in the front door and put back on when we go out, they are not made to be worn for long periods and that one doesn't seem to fit your dog properly at all. I guess it could be more convenient to keep one on but convenience and dogs don't go together often in this home, comfort is more important for the dog IMO

My Doberman puppy (now 5 months old) and almost 50 lbs. loves to tease Kiska, my 7 lb. Shih Tzu x Maltese. No matter how much she growls and flies at her, she just ignores her and will lie there and deliberately reach out with her foot and touch Kiska, Kiska will get mad at her, and it just goes on and on if I do not stop her.

I tell her to "leave it" and she is getting better but does love to tease her but I intervene as not fair to the older dog.

Thanks for the new replies. He does like to tease her and it bothers her. I've been distracting him and putting him in time-out. It makes her days a lot better. He doesn't seem to be learning very well, but he'll get it... he's a smart little guy.

The big dog is very tolerant and very well behaved but is obviously uncomfortable with this provocation. I noticed her looking up to you a couple of times? She seems to be waiting for you to help her and when you don't she turns to walk away to avoid further confrontation.
I think you should intervene to give her a break

Agree with the others about the harness, it should come off. She is a lovely old dog though, how did she lose her tail?
