Answer 1

First make sure they are not both boys or it will more than likely keep happening with some breads

Answer 2

my dogs just went thru the same thing when I introduced my 4th dog. They are going to have to establish a "pecking order"!! who is gonna be boss and do what. I figured that my first female with fight with her more than anything but it is turning out to be my first male that picks the fights! My two females get along just fine and my second male could care less! but the other two fight often. They are getting less severe and there has been no blood shed but lots of peepee on the floor!! I try to break them up if it happens in front of me more for the fact that she has long ears and I don't want a tear. She is learning her place now most of the time all he has to do is lift his lips and she backs away! It has taken almost 3 months.

Answer 3

i am going through the same thing myself. My male is 6 yrs old and was the one and only until we got another boxer. I agree with the first two answers. Lots of training and correcting the one who is snapping. Show them both that the love is equal. somedays are good and some are bad.

Answer 4

Dogs are naturally pack animals. Your collie is trying to establish its position as leader of the pack. Ignore them and let them work it out. I have two dogs who are littermates and when I interfere it gets worse. If I walk away, they quit fighting and follow me. I'm the leader.

Answer 5

Punish your dog everytime he does bad, get like one of those teaching clickers or get a dog whistle. You could also watch the Dog Whisperer on tv and see how he would handle something like that.

Answer 6

Hes JeLoUs! No doubt bout it.Treat them equally and he'll be fine. And give him treats of course.
