Hi, Samantha, Do they have crates? Are they fed separately? Are they given chew-toys and other guarded items only in the crates?

Connie Sutherland Moderator Reg: 07-13-2005 Posts: 31571 Loc: North-Central coast of California Offline	Regardless of what has happened to change the dynamics (and you may never know), do you see that something has to change in how you live with the dogs? One of your pack can't be attacking another. Right? So I would feed them separately and not allow any items (like bones, toys) except when they are separated (or under your eyes, IF you are confident that you can stop aggression before it starts), and fix the fence that let a "big stray" into their yard. JMO.

Excellent! You are asking questions on Leerburg. In my humble opinion, that alone indicates a dog owner who is serious about doing the right thing. As your dogs' pack leader, you'll want to know that you are not allowing one of your pack to attack another. Step one, for me, is to eliminate the situation where it happens. Good luck!
