My boxer's mixed did this and the runt (bumba) nor any of them won, just ended up in a bloody mess that I nursed until I was emotionally exhausted. I have supervised treat giving and realized if I am there my little one would just eat her own, and leave everyone else alone. With every dog I have that eats the fastest with treats, I would always cut the amount of the one that eats the slowest. Cos after peggy is done she will always try to get bumba's, ergo fight. This is from a couple of years with this situation, no more rawhide treats, they are happy with milkbones and attention.

That is a very hard mix to train but sometimes using a spray bottle will help. This way you are not close enough to be in danger and the dog will usually stop even if they like water they do not like the spray. The other plan would be to separate the dogs when giving them bones so she cant intimidate the others.

You can do one of two things. Isolate her from the others while they are eating their rawhide. Or, leave them be. Dogs are pack animals. Amongst them they have to have a leader. The leader always gets first dibs on the food. The pack mentality makes sense to them so try not to disrupt it. If there are little fights, let them be unless you really think one of them is in great danger. Right now she is exerting herself as leader. Acknowledge her as pack leader by greeting her first, feeding her first, etc...the others will follow and there won't be fights once they figure it out amongst them. However, never let her forget that YOU are HER leader!

She's a bit agressive! Maybe you should take her to a professional trainer that will teach her that its not nice to bully the other dogs. Petsmart has trainers and i'm sure they can give you some suggestions.

I'd feed the other dogs their rawhide bones in a separate room.

confine her to one area so that she can only eat her bone and everyone else can enjoy theirs . . . contrary to what someone else said . . . she is not the alpha dog of the pack . . . YOU ARE!!! . . so play your position!
