I suspecting the Dalmation is the Alpha dog? And the pug is the newcomer and the younger one? If this is so, the pug "will" have to learn the rope of hierarchy. Make sure the Dalmation is getting enough if not equal attention from you and your family. The Pug maybe young and playful, so what you could do is to get a few more toys to divert his attention. Also, give ample exercises (i.e. long walk) to release his pent-up energy. During feeding, keep their bowls at a distance. They both sleep in separate beds? Lastly, if you don't intent to breed them, have them neutered. HTH Hi Bonnie,

He is sweet as can be and loves my Pug, but there are times he turns on my Pug. I realize my Pug has a lot of testosterone, that doesn't help. But my Dalmation is soooo big, he can injure my Pug. I need help, this behavior gives me pause for the future. What can I do? Bonnie I have a Dalmation that is a bully towards my Pug.
