I've had my 2 older dogs ( a brittany mix and a dachsund) for over 6 years. Since introducing Rhett to the mix nearly 3 weeks ago, I barely recognize my other dogs. They've turned aggressive, nipping and growling. The brittany tried to attack another dog on our walk the other day and has pulled me over twice.

I haven't been able to let Rhett get to know them because I truly fear for his life. I've muzzled the two bigger dogs, but then Rhett thinks it's ok to bite and jump on them, which is going to get him killed if they get out of their muzzles.

I do try and keep them apart as much as possible (using a crate for the little guy when the big one's are out) and putting the older one's away when it's time for Rhett to come out and play.

I'm at my wits end and have spent a lot of time crying over the past 3 weeks. Any advice?
