When Friends Fight
Dogs that normally get along, then seem to fight for no reason, can be a tough puzzle to solve. I agree with other posters make sure everyone is healthy. It is ok to let the aggressor know what they are doing, is not allowed. Use a firm voice and use the same cue word like Stop It, or No Way, every time The idea is to redirect the dog. You can clap, stomp a foot, toss a pillow at her or give her a time out alone in another room. It will help to read some YT threads about dogs fighting. I would also suggest starting the Nothing in Life is Free training for dogs. Keep us up dated.
