This is all such great advice. I fear you are right that the problem is that Gracie does not think of me as the boss. But I have tried, when she tears into Bella I scruff her and put her on her back and look at her and tell her no, I then put her in the cage. She gets aggressive when there are toys; when they are playing outside, fence racing with the neighbors dogs; and when someone comes to the door and they all start barking. I have noticed that it's gotten worse because I think Bella is trying to fight back. The truth is I do get very nervous and upset when they start fighting, it scares the crap out of me, and I get so angry at Gracie for hurting Bella. I'm scared at this point to even introduce a toy because of the fighting I know will happen. I'm not sure honestly, that I can become the pack leader I need to be. So what I'm left with is to have a very controlled house with no toys and constant supervision in those instances that they fight. The ironic thing is that they sleep together, they snuggle and get along most of the time, as long as their is no competitive situations going on. With a more assertive mommy they could probably overcome this, but I'm not sure I'm up for the task
