I just read the "harmony" page and it mentions to keep all toys etc off the floor when your dogs arent playing with them to avoid possible fights. Right now my PB is showing zero issues with his toys, food,or anything else. Should I continue to foster this behavior because my two Bostons are up there in age and could really care less about playing or anything else for the matter. I do feed them however separately, the PB is crated and the bostons are in another part of the house. Am I setting myself up for disaster? should I keep encouraging this? Personally I would not leave toys around when I'm not there to supervise. You'd be surprised how quickly a fight could break out, even when up to that point there's been no issues or interest in the toys. Just a precautionary measure. Remember that your dog is still a BABY. These dogs are mature at 2 to 3 years, and in general you start seeing some "attitude" around 6+ months in terms of how they view other dogs. Just something to consider that most pups get along with other dogs. :-) Doesn't mean Rufus will suddenly decides he hates your Bostons, but what you see in puppies isn't always what you get down the road. Just like kids mature and go through various stages of personality development, dogs do as well.

Yes, with the signs it depends alot on where you live, we're in a more urban area where if you have a warning posted and somebody tries to get in the yard anyway the officers will back you with "Hey moron, didn't you see the sign?".
