Default 3 dogs, 2 hate each other

We have 3 dogs, 2 that absolutely hate each other.

The first dog, a female rottweier, bread from german pepered rotts, 7
years old, 75 lbs, have had since she was 11 months. Spayed last December.

Second dog, a male malmaute/lab mix. 125 lbs. 4 years old, neutered 3
1/2 years ago. Have had since he was a puppy.

Third dog, a female lab mix (we found her in park behind our house last
year), 69 lbs, approximately 1 1/2-2 years old. We had her spayed a
month ago.

The lab mix has taken to attacking our rott any chance she gets. We were
hoping having her spayed would stem some of the aggression.

It's to the point they cannot be together anymore. The rott used to
ignore her, until a bad episode a month ago where the lab attacked the
rott to the point the rott required stitches.

Not knowing what to do, we've kept them seperated, allowing only one of
them in the living room at a time (the malamute gets along with both and
can be with either any time)but can't continue living like this. I want
my dogs in the same room with me.

We've been trying to reintroduce them, allowing to sniff each through a
slightly open window, to see each other on the other side of a glass
door, but have been afraid to allow them together.

We did try over the weekend to muzzle them both and allowe them together
in the living room. In less then five minutes they were each other. At
first they were nosing and sniffing each other, then so fast we didn't
see who attacked first they were on each other. Thank god we had the
muzzles and leashes on so we could safely pull them apart.

Besides hating each other, they are both the sweetest dogs I've ever had.

Is there anything we can do to get some sanity back into our lives?

With comptent IN PERSON help you can train them to be obedient and to be
polite when in your company. More difficult is having them be reliable
around each other when not on command. Success rate fixing the problem is
low where (1) there are two bitches involved and (2) they have already
fought to the point blood is drawn.

Tasty, perhaps.

But not nearly as delectable as German beer-basted brats.



Sorry, John, I couldn't resist.


Hey, I set myself up for that one :-)

But I see that Diane has already given you good advice, and I second
it.


I'll check out her information when I get home tonight

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. Hopefully with time and training
I can work things out. I love both dogs too much too even consider
getting rid of one.

The rott has been my little girl since we got her. The lab is the
Malamutes play toy. The rotts idea of playing is too sit there and
watch. When we lived in Springfield, PA, I took over to our park every
day, where there were a dozen other dogs playing together. The first
thing she did was make friends with the dog the other dogs looked up to.
The moment I would get home, she would harass me to go to the park and
then just sit there and watch.

Except the aggression to the rott, the lab has been the easiest dog I've
ever had. She's never chewed anything we didn't give her, plays with our
cats, gives the malamute the exercise he needs. Her only problem is
she's very vocal. She has to talk too every dog in the community :-)
