Hi everyone,
I have an 8 months old yorkie Maxwell who is the apple of my eye. Just a perfect little guy... love him to death. He's a little aggressive with other dogs but I think it's because he was attacked two times in a two week span. He just hasn't been the same since.

We decided to bring home Ruby, a 9 week old yorkie pup. She is the sweetest thing and we adore her. But Maxwell does not... not even a bit. He has turned in to a very aggressive dog. Most times during the day they are fine and even play fight a bit. But when food comes or treats come out, Maxwell literally attacks Ruby and leaves her crying for minutes straight. He hasn't done damage or hurt her yet, but I fear it may happen.

I feel so defeated... I feel horribly sad for Maxwell, like I've ruined his perfect little life. And I feel horribly sad for Ruby, like I've brought her in to this dangerous home.

Please tell me what to do. I'm desperate to make them be friends.
