Hi thanks for the help , i live in a bungalow which is not big at all and kitchen to small for both of them , they have always slept in bedroom, from being 8 weeks old on their own beds never on ours, the reason they are in with us , is i have two rescue cats one that does not get on with them at all or they her, so the cats have the run of house at night and the dogs are in with us, he dosent snap as such but when i get hold of his collar to pull him down he turns round so maybe its me that thinks he might nip , never have they even growled or snapped at us or anyone i think you are right hes playing up so i will try some of your advice , thanks a lot for help
