OK so a detail that I failed to mention in all this was that they have and can be in the crate without fighting (I am going to get another cage but I didnt mention this in the original post). For example, right now they are asleep in the crate. Naps druing the day seem to be fine, they play together well (although I still feel Arizona is a little too aggressive at times) but when it comes to bedtime for the night she starts fighting til I gt him out (which is shortly cause its right next to my bed). So basically bedtime and Food agressive with Ace only.
I wasnt sure if it was ok to feed Arizona (or any dog for that matter in her crate.) I just was under the impression that it was too sleep only.
I really appreciate eveyones suggestions. I hope that I can get Arizona to calm down a little. She seems to train a little faster then Ace so maybe I can train her to be less aggressive.
