I have a 3-yr-old GSD female and a 17 month old Lab female. They have started fighting for no reason and it is getting out of hand. I love them both. What can I do?

Full Question:

Hi, could you help me? I have a German shepherd that is 3 years old and a Labrador at 17 months old. Both bitches. They have started fighting but I am concerned that it is getting out of hand. They just start fighting for no reason. Sometimes they just stare at each other and then it kicks off. And then they will not stop until you pull them apart. The German seems to be the one that starts more than the lab. Please help as I love them both.

Ed's Answer:

The worst dog fights are among bitches. This will continue because the younger one is just entering maturity. Your only solution is to keep them separated with dog crates or dog kennels or find a home for one of these.

Just so you know – most of the time females fight with females and males fight with males, but females are the worst.
