A couple weeks ago, at wit's end because Eddie had been thrashing our new guy Jack regularly, I stumbled on a blog that talked about aggressiveness between dogs in the same family. It said rather than punish the aggressor, you should try to elevate his status as the alpha.

I thought I was seeing some positive signs, but it's still not working. Eddie has whipped up on Jack the last three days in a row. The fights look more violent than they are, but the problem is, Jack is still recovering from surgery and shouldn't be in fights with his thug brother.

I've been googling all night and can't find anything that makes better sense than the blog. Somehow, I think I have to take a more active role in letting Eddie know that fighting isn't acceptable. But how do I do that w/o lowering his alpha status?
