I have two females and we have moments but now most of the time they get along great. It wasn't that way from the start. One of the biggest things that I feel helped was getting Mikki spayed. When she wasn't, she was more aggressive. jrsygal37 gave some excellent advice on this.
Rosie was my first so I would do everything for her first. Then Mikki. When Mikki was aggressive toward Rosie if we were holding her we put her down with a firm no ma am. When it was on the floor, she had a little time out. (Great advice from others here helped me to deal with this).
The other thing that I think helped was when Rosie finally showed her who was dominate. Seemed like Mikki quit trying to take over at that point. One day Rosie pinned her down and said "Look I am the boss missy!"
Occasionally, Mikki will pull what we call cheap shots. We are being consistent with time outs and putting her down. She doesn't like being separated from the attention so she has calmed down a lot. I hope all this makes sense.
How long have you had each of them? When I first got Mikki I thought I had made a huge mistake. However, with a little work, it has all smoothed out. Was Joli there first or the smaller yorkie? All of these things are very important to know in order to give more advice. I will be glad to share any of our experiences. I went to numerous members here when I was struggling through the two female thing. Please PM me if I can help. |
