The problem is I cant get them to get along its always crazy in my house! The male chi hates the lab and my female ignores her until she gets to close and then she raises hell with him. The lab (Spirit) just wants to play and she is to big and I have to stay right on her so she doesnt try to play with them because she doesnt meant to but she could hurt them. I feel bad because most of the time spirit is in her kennel and its not fair to her. Any idea's on how I can get them all to get along together would be very helpful.

Maybe you should consider playing with Spirit outside. A Lab needs more room than the livingroom can provide, to romp and play and get excercise. Maybe even take Spirit to the park for a play time! Spirit is too big to be around the Chihuahua's unless she is just laying around. The risk of her causing such a small dog serious injury is too great and not worth taking the risk with the little ones.

Your lab is way too large to be playing with Chihuahuas!
Your lab needs to have a fenced back yard to explore and play in.
Your Chi's are behaving like they are because the lab has invaded their territory.

You need to establish the pack "laws in the house. Make Spirit the alpha dog (feed her first, the the other two, greet her first etc)They'll catch on soon enough

More individual time with you and TONS more exercise.. If they were tired and content they wouldn't be harassing each other all the time.
