Dogs fighting is the way they set the top dog of their "pack". When you have more than one dog, this will happen. Sometimes the Alpha Dog (the boss one) will be challenged, and the fighting will settle the matter.
As long as the fighting does not cause physical harm, let them settle it for them selves. If it looks like one or more could be seriously hurt, you will have to put them in separate dog runs, and only let the "friendly" ones to be together.

Chis are like that. You need to correct the dog when it is misbeahaving. Let your pet know that the type of behavior is not acceptable and will not be tolerated.
Chis even though small are a very assertive dominant breed.
Little dog body big attitude. You need to reinforce that you are in chage not the little dog. Work on it consistantly and with time and effort the attitude will improve. You will have to correct over and over again so do not get discouraged.
If these dogs are not neutered and spayed get that done to all as that can help with the attitude also.
Good luck.

Chihuahuas tend to strive for dominance. Many of them are fear-aggressive perhaps because they are so tiny. You might try giving it attention first to satisfy its need for being alpha. Also, if it's aggressive to the others while you are giving it attention, put it down immediately. The worst thing you can do is encourage its nasty behavior by rewarding it with attention. For sure I would use verbal reprimands when it is aggressive. Use a high pitched happy voice when it's good and a scolding tone when it's bad. I do this daily with all my dogs and I can break up a dog fight with one scolding tone. You for sure have to establish yourself as alpha.

Every once in a while just put them together in the same room with no where to go and supervise them. If things get out of hand pull them apart and spank the one who started the fight and tell them NO. Do this gradually and the fighting should decrease or atleast thats how I did it with my dogs.

Give a little more attention to the Chihuahua.. And when giving the attention to the other dogs, make sure you are still giving attention to the Chihuahua.--just don't ignore it. Maybe he won't feel so jealous anymore.

I dont think you can change him totally, thats his instinct....you can control it tho .... anytime he acts jealous, let go the other one and play with him ..... but you dont want him to feel that he will get it all the time, from time to time be a bit strict and show him that he doesnt need to be jealous ...... ALSO, if you have kids at home, you better be very careful

they fight for dominance of the house. Chihuahua's unfortunately are not bright dogs. Saw one stupid enough to attack a rottweiler.

Talk to a vet they will tell you it's not jealousy its domineering. When you have more that one dog, one of them will try to be the dominate one it's their nature.
