yesterday i just kept on the kelpie, claimed everything back from her, stopped the big girl from getting between us, i will try ball games and try to get her engaged in playing fetch, keep her mind somewhere else....

had them all out today, even the kelpie left the shed to hang with the wolfhound andd the other three pugs, and the kelpie came whsn called with wolfhound near me, took about 1hr to get to that point, i believe it is the kelpie that is the silent dominant one...i am not new at dogs just trying to bounce off ideas, maybe someone has something i havent thought about...

I don't think it is too major, big pinned her once, a bit of a snarl, was hit with cold water from the hose, took them out this morning both fine, I think i have worked it out so far, big dog owns yard, small dog owns shed, starting to figure it out...

Weird thing with extra dogs as she does know them, all is good, she plays our own pug constanly, lets him eat out of the same bowl, lies down to let him jump all over her, sometimes both bitches play with him, and the big girl shares bones with him, the two main things i find is leaving and returning to the yard and when both bitches off lead the Irish Wolfhound can get over excited and run over her when they both get called back, in the yard together they both are calm, both will sit around me chewing bones without issue, live the same shed, the smaller one will sqeeze between her and me if necessary to get a pat, so i will say not all is lost, i do very much appreciate the comments and advice...

Been just praising her, tryinv getting her to stay while i pat the other dogs then praising her, and just giving her a quick re direction for correction if she starts to get a low growl happening, and start feeding them separate to get food dominance out of them both, getting in contact with a behaviour trainer.

The pug she plays with. Even plays with the Kelpie at times still, I even another 2 male pugs visiting at the moment, the big male pug seems to put her in her place, she seems to be way to attached to me which can be a trigger I think, really do not want to RE home the big girl, but will see how it goes...and note too self never have 2 female dogs again...

Both females, Grew up together, Kelpie 6, Irish wolfhound 3 Kelpie can be food dominant, Irish wolfhound gets agro at the Kelpie if she is left behind in the yard and also the other way around, No bed sharing, but the Kelpie will start lying the bed to stop the other dog from lying down. Kelp rolls in things as we live on a farm. When both walked together no issues, Mini Kellie only way to explain the size of her being a Kelpie lol Both desexed The Irish wolfhound is happy but cautious when walking, but gets a bit dominant aggressive if stationary if dogs get too close, The Kelpie is silently dominant.

The aggressor is Irish Wolfhound the other is a mini Kelpie, both desexed, if I take the Irish wolfhound out for a walk and come back, also when the Kelpie is taken out and comes back in, other than that they get along, also a male pug that is not desexed but he seems to not be bothered, it is just when entering the yard...

Trying to figure out why one of my dogs is suddenly aggressive and dominant over the other one, especially if she has been out and then RE enters the yard...
