So I gave them two seperate food bowls and she would go back and forth between them growling at him. Now its to the point where she almost snaps his snout off. Ive seen her bite at his face and pull it. From the moment they came home I have been crate training them. Arizona loves it and she always goes right in as did Ace but night after night they fought worse and worse. I had to bring Ace to sleep with me and DH (he wasnt too happy about it) but what could I do? Arizona would fight with him til he was out. I bought Ace and then two days later bought Arizona so that they could grow up together and so Ace would have a playmate but she treats him like crap. They do play together during the day but she play a bit rough with him. I love both my furbabies and Im not going to rehome her just because she is who she is. Im hoping that someone can suggest or help me figure out what I need to do to change her behaviour. Im sorry this is long. Thanks in advance for your time and suggestions. |
Are you free feeding them? My suggestion would be to put down their food at opposite ends of the room for them to eat. If Arizona is continuing to act aggressive when they are further apart I would not allow them in the same room while eating. As soon as they are done I would pick up both bowls of food. How old were they when you brought them home? It almost sounds like maybe Arizona was not properly socialized and taken from her mom too soon.
