I have read your post since this is new behavior, I would watch them very closely to see if I could understand why this started. Keep a leash on Suki while you are in the room with them, so you have more control over her. If she acts the least bit aggressive put her in a 3 to 5 minute time out , by herself in another room away from you and the other doggie. This is something else I need to mention and may or may not have anything to do with what is going on. Are both dogs spayed ? could one be coming into heat ? that will often spark fights. Also does the older dog have health problems ? Sometimes when a dog is sick, the other dogs will pick fights with them. This is not completely understood, but it is a fact that stronger, younger, healthy dogs will sometimes start fights with sick dogs. Please make sure that CoCo and Suki are both healthy. I agree that if this keeps happening you might need to have a professional visit your home. I hope this helps. |
