:lol:

Only Free does it.

What a cutie!!

Carin with the constant training thank goodness I have a handle on my situation. Yes my oldest was caught in the middle a few times. As you can see by my siggie my girls can now tolerate each other as long as [b][u][i]I'm[/i][/u][/b] in the room. I'm stressing I'm because I'm the alfa of the 2. I can see the tension when they are left alone when he is with them. So I have learned what causes the fights. I use NILIF every day. I call the shots. I run the PACK not them. I have learned alot through what Court said to me a year ago. As a matter of fact it was a year ago this month that all this can about. I remember as if it was yesterday. I do however have to rotate the girls when I'm not home between the front porch and or the outside kennel in order to not have conflicts since X in home before me. The reason is I can not and will not trust the girls alone with X while I'm not home. There has not been any fights since I've began the training and with paws crossed there will never be a fight ever.

You do understand that you are lacking "Pack" order in your home. Your dogs need to see you as the leader with that said I can not stress enough that it is important to practice and use NILIF everyday. There is no room for aggressive dogs in your household and the NILIF training will help you. Again this is not an overnight training as I stated before Eat, sleep and shit NILIF especially since you mentioned that Cody is showing signs of aggression. Crates is a good use of keeping calm in home. :roll: Where is Court when I need you........ ( Hey Court did I miss anything. Court is my mentor. :wink: )

That's great news. Keep us updated.

So you technically have 3 dogs fighting not just 2. Bottom line you need hard core NILIF. 2 big dogs against 1 little dog equals trouble. I do not want to offend you but hard core training now is a must. Otherwise you will not have peace in your home. You should also seek help with basic commands. It is clear that Stry is numb to commands and lacks obdience. The last thing you need is 3 uncontrollable dogs in your home no matter what size they are. Do you have crates for each dogs? If not you should invest in crates for all of them.

Thanks Cinco I didn't remember. :wink:

Let me ask a few questions because I need a little clarification. In the past you were having issues with Zoey right? She didn't listen was that correct? Is she now under control? ( Zoey is a "she" right? ) Are all your dogs "fixed"? The dog that you have previous to Syr why did you give that one up? I do not remember? How does Zozo act while the attacking is occuring? Does she back off or is she there in the middle? Do you made a big fuss and run to one dog verse the other?

Dal, by reading your rely "no matter how many times you tell him off he is on the bed" this indicates to me that Stryker lacks basic commands. DP> I'm wondering the same thing. Dal do you also use hand signals with your dogs? My guys also know hands signals.

I live by NILIF. I did read in your post that your dogs sleep in the same bed as you. If you have read up on NILIF you will see that you should not be letting your dogs do that. YOU are the ALFA by allowing your dogs sleep with you you are giving them mix messages. You also mention how one dog will be on the couch while the other in on the floor. Wrong move. All dogs in your household must be treated as equals in order to maintain an equal balance of peace and sanity. You might not think your playing favorites but you are. By allowing 1 dog on the sofa to look down to the other it is showing that this dog is above all the rest. Stryker even though he is smaller than the others should be treated the same as the others. On the floor. NILIF training doesn't work overnight. It takes months to years or maybe never to work on dogs. You must very cautious since 1 of your dogs outweights the other and cause serious harm. Yes NILIF work for my girls but you need use it every day. It is not something that you do today and forget tomorrow you see. It is an ongoing training it is a way of life. You eat, sleep and shit NILIF. You get what I'm saying. Any questions so far?

That is great news!
