Hi all. I have two Yorkies. I've had Zoey for over a year. I got Harley (a rescue) last week. They did very well together for a while. Last night, we made the mistake of giving them both a bully stick and leaving them in the same room. They did fine for a while, then suddenly the fight was on. Apparently, they decided they both wanted the same bully stick.

This morning, they started a fight over food. My husband threw water on them to stop the fight. Then I went into the bathroom and Zoey followed me. When Harley came in, they started fighting again. My telling them to stop stopped the fight. It seemed they were fighting over me. Harley is quite a bit bigger than Zoey, so now Zoey is scared of him.

He is still wearing a cone from being neutered, and he seems to be sore from the neutering (4 days ago). I think the cone hurts Zoey when Harley goes to sniff her. I think they are going to work things out. The vet says it takes a couple of weeks after neutering before Harley stops the behavior dogs who aren't neutered exhibit.

I'm hoping this resolves itself, but I would love to hear your thoughts.
