I agree with alaskayorkie. You have to establish yourself as the alfa of the pack. Jaya has clearly established that she is a higher statis than jenna but you have to show that you are a higher statis than jaya , that means you control everything ( food ,toys , playtime etc.) On the down side of this you will also have to treat jenna as a low ranking member of the pack , but dont stress over this as jenna will accept this. She will be under less stress also because jaya will not be putting her in her place all the time.The key to all this is to be a strong pack leader so that jaya doesnt think she has to keep the pack in order , she will look to you to do this.
