introducing a 6 month old puppy to our 1yr old cattle dog

Question
we got a 1 yr old beautiful male cattle/bordie collie dog a month and a half ago and 2 days ago we got a 6 month old female cattle dog - all white with very few black spots.  she loves the older dog but he plays rough with her (she holds her own pretty well - but we worry he might get to rough) he now atleast lays down to play more gentle with her.  he won't leave her alone when she wants to rest. he also wants to hump her and we just got her spaded. keep stiches dry and safe for 10 days dr. said.  i hope he simmers down to play gentle with her.  he deffinitely doesn't want to share his dog bone. he will share his food but not the bone outside in the yard. we have to get her one and i can't help for feeling like he is going to think he owns all of those. they are both loving smart good dogs but he has to learn to play more gentle with her and not touch his bone - is that possible...???.... thxs

Answer
The breed and mix you have chosen are smart, tough, independent dogs.  It sounds to me as though you are not in charge of this 'pack'.  Both these dogs need a job; they  need positive reinforcement training ASAP.  You might go to Karen Pryor's web site and learn about clicker training.  There is also a fairly good book written by Paul Owens called "The Dog Whisperer" (NOT Cesar Milan!!)  I suggest you purchase it.  You need to learn about dog psychology and managing your two dogs before they manage you.  The Border Collie and the Cattle Dog are breeds that get into a great deal of trouble because their humans do not engage them intellectually and do not maintain psychological rank.

The best move you can make for both these dogs is to educate yourself.  There is no QUICK FIX.  It will take time and patience, commitment and knowledge, but you will have two fine companions when it's over.
