I would definitely keep them separated when you are not home and maybe when you are at home - until things calm down. I second the suggestion of a trainer. I like your idea of more walks to tire her out a bit. Can you walk them together to help build their bond?
IF no blood is being drawn - the fight is probably more noise and for show than anything else. But, still, it's upsetting and no one wants to live like that all the time.
I'd also start implementing NILF for Sadie ~ well both, I guess. Start teaching her some basic manners. Nothing in Life is Free |
Sadie was the first dog. She's been here since she was almost 8 weeks old (my stupid mistake i'm still paying for)
Bentley came in at about the time they were both 10 months old and they were fine until i got pregnant. we're pretty sure this all started about the time i got pregnant so it's totally hormone/stress related from me.
