But...I will say that you aren't making it worse by separating them at this time. In fact, it's crucial you separate them. My feeling is that, if you want them to get along, it will be a very slow process of reintroducing them to each other, gradually and always under close supervised watch. If not, I have read that two females can fight to the extent of wanting to kill each other. Perhaps for now, give them some time apart and keep them separated for a couple weeks or more. If you want to keep both of them, I think you'll have to put in the time and effort to give them both attention for the time being. And then, once you start to let them be in the same room together, make sure there's treats involved and both get it from you at the same time, and they don't need to fight for anything. Also...getting them separately well exercised and increasing the amount of daily obedience training (even if they know everything already) could help. They need to know that you're the boss and when you're around, they cannot and should not fight.

I always say that the best thing to do is preventative measures, which applies to anything when it comes to dogs. Always reinforce the good and always prevent the 'bad'. Take a deep breathe and have patience with them. It'll all work out in the end. Just go slow and steady and never rush them into getting along. You'll get there one day. For me, my two little ones got along after a very very slow transition. They will play fight. When it sounds like they're playing too rough, I stop them and tell them "enough". But they only get to interact with each other when I'm home. When I'm away, they're always separated.

| I have had a pack of 3 females, all are now passed. They were all 3 years apart. The two oldest ones were not spayed, my fault, my ignorance, the third girl I had spayed when the vet said it was time. My older girls were sweet babies, never a growl between them. It did take 6 to 8 weeks for my 3 yo to stay on the floor with the hyper, nipping, pounce in your face puppy. Now one was 6 yo, the other 3 yo and I bring home a 3rd baby. The two older girls stayed up on the sofa, their safe haven, again it took 2 months for all 3 to stay on the floor. When my older girls came into season their temperaments never changed. The baby was the bossy one and pampered by the two older ones. I made sure they ALL knew that I was the PACK leader. They all had beautiful personalities, loved ppl and ALL animal. Keeping your girls separated is the wisest thing to do right now. Bring them to the same room several times a day for short periods under your supervision.Kinda reintroducing them. A dog behaviorist trains us, to train our babies, the behaviorist gives us the tools to use, teach these girls how to behave when they are together. I believe your young one does not see you as the leader, you have to be strong and firm to show this little baby you are the boss. Use the tools taught to you by the behaviorist. I believe these two girl can get along,you must show this young one you are the boss.

| I have 3 females, 2 older, the young one started the fights, I would run an STOP it immediately, the young one got scolded, only by voice, I never was loud but I was stern, I believe it's out of jealousy, just keep working with them. And show the younger one your boss dog. |

| I never seperated them, but When I see Pebbles acting bad, I stay calm, but assertive, I reach out an just touch her and say no, You have to stay calm, they feed off of you. If your afraid they will hurt eachother separate them when you leave home, not when your home. |

| Pebbles did the same thing, stay calm, I know it's scary, I would grab her by the scruff of the neck an separate them, and scold her, then when she calmed down, I would, an still do, give her a chew, a ball, something different to do, do not tolerate her bad behavior, you have to be the top dog. Do you ever watch the dog whisperer on TV? You have to be the pack leader. |

| I never separated them your puppy is fighting for her place in the pack, thats why you have to stay calm. An show her your the pack leader, If you have to pull them apart grab the puppy an roll her over on her back an hold her down, telling her no! Much like the mother dog would do, stay calm, yes, this will pass, when you teach her Your the pack leader. Seperating them will prolong your problem. When your home keep them with you, an don't tolerate bad behavior from the baby. |

| Thank you for the advice they have been separated and I came home the other day and my daughter left the gate separating them opened and I walked in the living room and saw both of them on the couch I freaked out but just totally ignored them until their excitement level came downI noticed Ruby the younger one that's the aggressor was showing dominance over the older one and pushing her body up against her do I put a stop to that or do I just let her do that I notice if the older one comes and sits next to me the younger one that's the aggressor comes right away and jumps on my lap they did good for a couple hours and then a fight broke out and now they are separated I get scared one of them is going to get hurt bad any suggestions on this thanks |

| Don't put up with any bulling from Ruby, call her by her name an tell her no, I'm doing all of this now with Pebbles, she's a little stinker, but I stay focused, an stay calm, they will grow up, an it will subside. |
