have had one of the dogs for two years, got other as rescue this year. they seem to get on fine but when we take them for a walk as soon as he gets off lead new dog runs up to other barking and nipping at rear end and older dog turns and attacks. they can fight for 2mins or longer. once fight is over they are fine again. if new dog kept on lead they walk side by side, but i feel dog needs off lead for proper excercise. i think it could be a habit but would like to break themof it, no fight yet very serious but could happen and dont want badly hurt dog.

not much you can do. Above all be their boss - they should not be fighting each other when you are there. Don't treat either one of them differently - even if you think this one is the 'leader' you may start another set of problems if you try topromote one or interfere. Take them both to training calsses and get them to do what you say asap.

Some dogs get jealous and fight when human is there with or near them just take them at different times.
