My female chow is 7 and I have a male chow that is a year old. Everyday he'll start a fight with her by jumping on her back as if he's going to mount her but he'll stand on her back and growl and start biting her in on the back and on her legs. Then my Female German Shepherd would come in and bite her all in the face and then my male chow would run off while my german shepherd beats the crap out of my female chow and he does it everyday.Its as if he wants to get my female chow and female german shepherd to fight. My german shepherd is 10 and my female chow is 7 and they never fought before.My female chow is my favorite dog I feed her first pet her first I always treated her as the dominant dog and I'm not going to change that. Why can't my male chow accept that? Why does my two dogs jump on her? I wish my German shepherd would stay out of it because my female chow can fight my male chow if it was one on one.She has before and she won to. but how can she with two thats not fair to me.

Crate and rotate.
I'd make sure everyone is neutered and spayed. This can def. make a difference.

Your male chow is younger, and if he's a year old then that means his hormones are running wild. He's trying to dominate the female chow and your german shepard dosn't like that behavior. No matter how much you want your female chow to be dominate the shepard is dominate. The female chow will not exibit dominate behavior as long as the shepard is near. The shpard is the alpha, she wont allow any type of intamacy within her pack because on the alpha pari can breed. You must make the shepard submit.
The not fair part is your favoriteism. You are supposed to be the dominant one since youve got two females. If you let the chow dominate youll have the same problem. The male is being a male. But you are supposed to be the dominate one, not the dogs.

You made a huge mistake when you let your female chow dominate over you. You at all times must be the dominate dog, because that is how they look at you. Right now you are member of the pack. Don't you go and think those other two dogs haven't caught on they have. Oh yes indeedy. Hey dogs they think and they see you know, oh yes they do and they are quite capable of putting two and two together.
You have to rectify the situation and that is by feeding all of the dogs the same time and no dog should get special treatment. Your other dogs are fighting her for supremacy and, or they don't like it she's being treated so special.

Usually a male dog does not have to dominate a female dog.
Getting a dog fixed does not stop the urges completely especially if the dog is dominant by nature. Getting a dog fixed is not a
100% guarantee.
If the dog is a puppy it maybe less mature and just needs to get a bit older. It's normal, I would not worry about it

Are you sure that they are fighting. I have three dogs and they play pretty rough. Also dogs are similar to children. You should be treating the equally. Dogs can and will feel deprived of attention. They might feel a jealousy toward her. Don't have so many dogs if you can't treat them all fairly.

I heard that the biggest dog always has to be treated as the Alpha by the owner. Its how dogs think. Size matters to them. They will keep fitting to be Alpha until you treat them in order....ex. the Alpha gets the first treat, then the next in line and so forth. It has to be consistent.

What ever you do don't come between them.(and I mean that literally.) Keep one inside for a day and the other one outside. Switch them every day or so.
