I need help with my Ruby Bella our youngest Yorkie. She is just under two and for the past year or so she has been very aggressive toward my girl Brandi who is very quiet and laid back. Who til now would never fight back. But she had gotten fed up with the abuse and is now fighting back. It started out only being a few time but it has gotten worse. Now Ruby is attacking my other girl Miah the pack leader. Thankfully no blood had been drawn.

Ruby is a very pleasant little gal, very well behaved, listens well, no potty issues, no toy or food aggression, nothing except this. Nothing that they are fighting over that would trigger this kind of attack. Ruby just goes into TOTal BITCH mode. The only things that I do notice is that she will attack them when when they are excited/ barking at the sweeper or load noises and she doesn't like having her bottom sniffed. But most of the times it is over Nothing! There is no load noise, no barking or sweeper running, nothing.

I separate them, pin her or both down using the claw/pack leader method as seen on Sesar Millon and she just goes NUTS. She bears her teeth, and sounds like some sort of demon is being exercised from her soul. I don't let her get up until she is calm. And than sometimes I will put her in her cage for a timeout. And she comes out, all is good. Until the next time something triggers her aggression. This happens about once a month sometimes more. Than there will times when she is perfectly fine for months at a time. I just dont get it....

I am at al loss.... I have four Yorkies, I have had dogs my entire life and this is a first for me. I don't understand it at all. I raised all four of them with the same amount of love and affection. The same amount of discipline, training and rules. But she is getting worse and I don't know what to do...... I need your help, I need suggestions, I need my baby girl to stop this aggression NOW before one of them is seriously hurt. I very grateful that she has not turned her aggressions onto me or my human family members.
