Low-value chew sticks can be left about - but high value treats (bully sticks, etc) will be given separately in their crate.
Keep an eye on it and I would take this time to work on Nothing in Life for Free training with your aggressor.
Most likely, neither one will be interested in baby formula so you will have some time to settle things down.
Good luck. |
I agree- I think it is more common then most people think. Mine get fed and given high value treats with a baby gate between them. I am sure a trainer could help you work on the behavior over the long term- but a baby gate or feeding in crates or separate rooms is the best short term solution to prevent any injury.
