Time out like with children?
One is in bed with me this morning, the other comes in the room. The one that was in the bed gets jealous because she knows he is gonna want up on the bed too. She jumps off the bed and attacks him. they dont really "fight". Just more of a barking and growling thing. More funny than anything. They both jump up in my bed afterwards, one on each side of me and the whole time they are argueing back and fourth-growling away. overtop of me. Why are they so jealous of each other? How do i put them in time out?

Make them both get off the bed and only get back up when YOU invite them. Let them know its you who is control.

This is more of a dominance thing. She is telling him that she is the boss, known as the alpha dog. Their arguing after they are up on the bed has to stop. You need to take over as leader of the pack (you need to be the alpha). I did this with mine. Pin, or hold down,stare in the eyes and tell him/her NO. Don't let up until eye contact is broken by them. This tells them that you are the leader. You may have to do this a few times but it works. I know they will struggle but don't let go. Sounds mean but it isn't because you aren't hurting them, you are doing what their mother would do, being the boss. It is more out of love for each of them.

W. is right, thats what i did. You let them know you are the boss and it is your dicision when they can go on the bed. When they stat fighting, get them off the bed right away and say "NO!" make sure you do that every time they go at it. Dogs understand one word at a time, so dont give them a long lecture cause they wont understand at all, a simple NO!! and a point with your finger will will let them no you dont like it. Eventually it will stop, it took 2 weeks of that do get my dogs to stop.
When you noyice the both of them doing better in bed praise them.

sounds like the female is trying to protect you or is thinking she is i have found that the female dogs have protected the male human more i have two males in my house and theu are more protective towards my wife then me best thing is not time out because they wont understand anyway but is to spend time everyday with each of them seperate and then spend more time with them together with you that way they will be more understanding of each other and will start to get along with each other also dont give a treat to one and not the other they will get jealous of each one and will start resenting the other okay ........GODD LUCK MAN

usually dogs take after their owners, but your dogs don't sound gay at all!!! (of course I mean happy gay) I would wag my finger at them and say, "bad doggy, daddy loves you" over and over again...
