Sound very much like my situation that I have. But eventually the one who was getting attacked (Brandi) started fighting back. That made it much worse and harder to separate them.

I have found that the aggressor is also triggered by excitement... which we have been working on for the past four weeks or so and she is getting better. She would attack Quincy who is just standing there barking at the sweeper. That is almost non existent now, still working on it!

Just try, try, try to nip it in the Budd... Try "Leash training" with the aggressor. Have her by your side at all times on a leash. That way you can be very aware of every move she makes. Correct her before she even gets a change to react ....... if you could do that for a few hours a day a couple of times a day I 'm sure you would see the beginnings of a change in her.
