      I have a 5- year old basset who about a year ago we noticed began to dominate our now 8-year chocolate lab. He controls the eating space and drinking space. We’ve separated bowls however any chance the basset has, he goes to both. He stares down the lab and the lab obliges to him. He does not bite however he barks and snaps at the Lab. Any tips to break this dominance?
