Thank you for the link. There are some good points in it and I will surely try them. I don't understand Chewie's problem, I have had him since birth and he has never had to fight or wait for food, but has always showed aggression toward another dog. Even if he just "thinks" food is involved he will jump on my other dog. Sometimes he doesn't even need a reason to make Karma cry. I love both my dogs and just want them to get along. They do 80% of the time and seem to play real well. Thank you again for the help!
