[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 243228, member: 831"] I would send a strong message to BOTH dogs that the fighting simply will not be tolerated. Neither one of them should dominant and disiplining. YOU need to be dominant one . If you decide a particular dog should have a bone, that is not the other dog's business. I know when I got Goldie, I was informed by her previous owner that there was fighting between her and her other female and that I shouldn't have another dog because Goldie can be dog aggressive. Well, I wanted another dog and decided I would address any aggressiveness immediately. When I got Candi, who is very submissive, Goldie decided to growl and bite at her. Oh, no you don't! Immediately I take my finger and tap her on the side of her mouth with a firm, "NO!". I wait until Goldie submits and then I walk away. I discipline her even if she starts to give "the look" towards Candi. The last behavior I'm having to deal with is face biting when I let them outside. I always had to let Candi out first. If I let Goldie out first, she waits for Candi to come out (which now, Candi won't go out if Goldie is waiting to pounce) so she can bite her on the face. I've done a lot of disciplining for that one and I'm finally starting to see the difference with that issue. Here's part of the problem: I LOVE my dogs, but they are not human. Molly is apologizing? Be their leader, that is what is in their genes. [/QUOTE]
