I have had a Napoleon for several years. I thought he was lonely and needed a companion of the same age and I brought a Ney. At first my Napoleon seemed happy, they played and Ney followed him everywhere. But then Ney began to get irritated by anything, try to bite, bark and distance himself from Napoleon. Now Ney is so angry that he threatens my Napoleon with putting him in an iron cage. What should I do? Because I don't want to get rid of Ney either, he's so cute. But he doesn't know how to behave correctly.

Let your Napoleon sort this one out. Have him present himself to Ney, arms outstretched - almost like in a T-pose - and tell Ney, and the Ney's pack members, to shoot him if they want.

The other pack members will surround the Napoleon, and Ney will be forced to be friends again. No worries! Napoleons are very forgiving, too!
