This is almost the exact same problem I'm having with Buster & Maggie. She attacks him when he starts his "screaming, whining" type stuff that he does when he doesn't get his way. She hurt him the other night as he was crying by the time I got her pulled off of him. She apparently got him on the face. I put her in the bathroom but not for a long time, maybe a few minutes at the most. Rehoming her isn't an option. I have thought about a dog behaviorist that is close by but she is pricey, $185/hour. DH is home with them during the day and he says that she never does that. It's usually when I get home that things go bad. Rehome me? They both growl and snarl when they are wanting first place at the front door, but there are times when for no reason she will bite his ear or legs. Sometimes I can see when she is about to attack and I will stop it (she will make eye contact with him when she is in my lap and he approaches). They are very jealous of each other. There are days I don't know what to do. Any suggestions other than the dog behaviorist? Has anybody ever taken their dog to one?
