I have 7 dogs in the house and I am having problems with the chow-mix. What would you advise?

I have 7 dogs. Two chows both females & 5 Keeshonden 1 is a female. The youngest Keeshond, 1.5 yrs. old, is going after the 2.5 yr. old male all the time. He goes after him if he picks up a toy, a treat or just for the heck of it. He does it going down the stairs & in & out the doors also.



Last week he sat on the edge of the bed & stared at me with scary eyes. I wasn't quite sure how to handle this. I did the wrong thing I'm told to stare him down. He jumped off the bed & came to my side & licked my hand. Then he repeated the whole thing over right away. He is not dominant with the other dogs, just this one male Keeshond. I understand they establish their own pack order. But, is it right to allow him to do this to the other Keeshond? I'm seriously thinking of placing him somewhere else. I don't want to because I am attached to him & he can be very lovable. Is there a way to handle a situation like this with a large pack?



The female chow also dominates the younger female chow. Not usually aggressively. I had another female chow foster dog here & they had a few fights. I had to keep them apart. Since then she seems to be more aggressive with the younger female chow. Two being bossy one is male & one female. Only with one particular dog each. Any help will be very much appreciated. Five have had obedience training & 2 have not. The younger Keeshond & another Keeshond have not. This young guy barks a lot also I believe for attention.



No apparent reason.



Thank you,
