My Rott and Akita mix have been fighting. Is there any way to stop the aggression?
Full Question:
I have 2 dogs. I've had my Rot for about 6 years and I've had my Akita/Lab mix for about 1 year. About 2 months ago my Akita/lab mix started fighting my Rot for food and water. They are both females (the Rot is fixed, the Akita/lab mix is not). It started over the food, then we made a pen for the Akita/lab mix for feeding time. Now it is over the water. Is there any way I can get them where they are not aggressive? ![Ed](https://leerburg.com/Photos/articles/authors/edfrawley.jpg)

This is an owner problem not a dog problem. You don’t understand pack behavior. If you care to learn you can start by reading my web site. There is a ton of information there.
Find a home for one of these dogs – this problem is beyond your experience.
