There have been other member here that had to rehome a female because of this type of behavior as is escalated to the point of endangering the lives of the 2 females. You cannot shake a can or make a noise to stop the fight. They need to be seperated but better to work on prevention instead. There has to be clues and signals that you are missing prior to the fight~a glare, growl, shove they are not just going at it out of nowhere. Do you and your sister live together? Are the 2 spayed? If you live in different homes are the fights occurring at a your home or your sisters?
Good advise and questions. Also I am wondering if and how much socialization these dogs have with other dogs? Is it just between the two of them, or is it with other dogs as well?
Dog to dog aggression can be very, very difficult to correct.
