Its also a last resort but soft muzzles and being supervised closely forcing them to get the ranking over with...without ability to bite-contraversial &the last resort
I really feel this is unfortunately age appropriate pack order establishment.
It sucks, but it's almost natural.
Safety first, I'm sorry you and they are foing through this and hope another option is avalible. |
Thanks a lot for the advice. I've tried kenneling them separately, but side-by-side and I kept them apart for weeks, rotating them every couple of hours. I also walked them together daily and I spent time with each one separately. They were better for a while, but they still squabble almost daily. As soon as June sees Joni, her tail goes into rattlesnake position, her back goes stiff and she stares at Joni until she lunges at her to attack, even while Joni is crated.
It's now gotten to the point where Joni cowers in corners and is afraid to exit her crate for fear of attack. It's not fair to her to live under constant attack.
Plus, Joni might be pregnant. She's my breeding girl* and she's due around 21 January if she took the breeding. I'm incredibly scared that June will hurt Joni and the puppies.
*Breeding disclaimer:
I have done my research, I have a great mentor and my dogs are health tested and show quality. I'm not a willy-nilly breeder.
