Vicky, I am so very sorry - I know the pain of having two fighting females. Chattie and Chizzie have been kept separated 24/7 365 for the past 3 1/2years. Thinking of rehoming is very difficult -- Chattie is my :hearts-xx and Chizzie is my :lol tears When we love a furfriend, we have to put our own feelings aside and think of what is best for them first. I know you will do what is in the best interests of your family - sending hugs :hug: and prayers :hands:. I sincerely hope you get some advice that will work for you. |
I am also very sorry you are going through this. I really have no advice for you because I haven't been through this and wouldn't presume I know what you are going through but I will say prayers for you and your family. Hopefully if it comes to you having to rehome you can find a good loving home near by where you can visit. God bless. :doghouse::dogprintsCharlene:dogprintsMama to Laddy and Lolita:dogprints:doghouse: |
Sorry to hear what you have been going through and the difficult decision you must make. I would not hesitate when it comes to the safety of your child. You cannot take a chance she will get injured. Sounds like you have tried all you can. If you decide rehoming is the way to go, best of luck finding her a good home nearby where you will be able to check in once in a while. You have to think of it that both dogs will also be happier once this agression issue is not faced every day. I know your heart will ache -- but you have to do what is best for your family. |
Just wanted to add my thoughts of concern...I have no advice to offer, I've always just had one dog. Hope you are able to come up with the answer your seeking. |

I am so very sorry you are going through this. I don't have any advise as I have only ever had one furbaby at a time. All I can offer is prayers for you, your furbabies and your family. Please keep us posted. |
Aww, Vicky. I'm sorry to hear this. It's so stressful when your furbabies fight, and of course, above all you have Amelia Grace's safety as a priority. G & B have been fighting like cats and dogs :lol tearslately and it's been driving me to drink (jk) Unlike you, we don't have any little ones toddling around, I can imagine how that makes this 1000 times worse. Around here I'm the only one getting hurt.:rolleyes: We've been trying the time out thing and always have a water bottle on hand. I thought it was getting better...and I initially thought Bernie was the instigator (although, now I'm not sure why I thought this), but yesterday, Ginger was growling at him from across the room everytime I turned around. Sigh...I'd love to hear what Mike had to say (hint, hint). Enough about us, I mainly want to let you know that I understand how frustrating and scary it can be. I hope that you can figure something out, but would support you 100% if you decided to rehome. If you need to vent, I'm here. |
What a horrible situation to be in. I think you really need to try all the idea's that have been posted by the other members and if all fails at least you know you have tried everything but it won't make it any easier re homing one of your girls. I really hope you don't have to go down that road. I will keep my fingers crossed for you that it all works out for the dogs sake and for you and your daughter. :ghug: |
I am not very knowledgable on the issue of Alpha, know VERY Little. But can they both be Alpha Dogs, and does spaying work? Note said they start playing and one or the other gets aggressive. If neither are fixed can they both getting near their season and wanting to protect the Baby? (Especially since this is a current problem and one of the dogs is just at a year old) My friend's dog will not let anyone near her son (He's 18) when her dog is in season. Her dog guards her toys also - she keeps all of her toys in her bed and constantly washed them, but you better not go near them. Is there a group in your area that can give you some advise about your problem, any suggestions from your vet? Good luck, I hop you find the solution. |
Vicky ~ :hug: I'm sorry you are having to deal with this. I have a feeling there are a LOT of people with similar issues so I wanted to thank you for being brave enough to post. ;) Like others have said, if the dogs simply can't get along after trying what you are able to, then you have to think of AG!!!! (btw... can I have 1st dibs if you rehome Amelia???:cool:) Is it possible for you to keep them separate till you figure out what to do? You have small dogs AND a human toddler... you must have a gate you can use to separate off the rooms. :D At least by doing that you won't have to worry about the dogs injuring AG or each other. Keep us posted, ok?:) |
Lots of good advice (and support) in here. I just wonder on the spaying for Kayla, if it would work. I would be curious to know if anyone had their Yorkie spayed and it didnt. |

Good luck! I hope Mike's tips work! |
aaww Vicki...i'm so sorry to see that you are having such problems...anyone can see how much you love your girls...I just hope you can sort this out...goodluck hon xxx;) |
Does anyone know of a good training book that might help. I had XUXA this week and Lola is down right mean to other females. She grabbed XUXA by the neck and had her down, I gave her a Thump on the neck with a stern voice, she stopped and tried a couple of times but you have to be there and catch them in the act and discipline right away. Have you tried to make her submissive by putting her on her back and only release her when she has calmed down. The key is repetition. Good Luck to you. Lissette |
