Answer 1

it's okay for them not to like each other, as long as they don't get hurt. Eventually Sash will get tired of fighting with him all the time and just accept that he's there, maybe even play with s****.. We raise dogs and our blue healer (female, her name is joe) did not get along with our French Mastiff puppy (male his name is pee wee) at first because she is calm and he is hyper but now they play together and romp around. So just make sure that when youre feeding them or giving them treats that they each have their own as not to cause a fight, and try to get them both out in the yard and play with them both at the same time, don't just play with one and let the other be jealous, if you play with them both. if you are playing with them and they seem to be okay, tie 2 old socks together and let them play tug o war, I hope this helps.

Answer 2

the best way is to train her while she's on a leash. when she gets near to s****., & starts to b aggressive, give the leash a sharp tug & say firmly NO. then give her praise if she does what u ask. keep practicing this...all dogs want praise & crave it.so give it to her...only when she's good... it might take a while, but keep doing it... it will take up to about 2 weeks... another thing to do is if she gets aggressive, lie her down & stretch her between your legs.hold her paws in your hands. not very hard... just hold her firmly. hit her nose lightly if she growls @ s****..u do this next to him so she gets used to him... & she learns not to... if she stops growling or watever she's doing to him, let her go & praise her... remember, they crave praise.

Answer 3

They are setting their boundaries - as soon as they figure out who is top dog it will be fine - YOU can help by learning how to better project as the pack leader - in the absence of a strong leader they will fight for dominance.

Answer 4

when you add an additional pet into your household, it's natural that one or both animals aren't comfortable. They'll get used to each other in about a month or so, as long as they aren't straight out fighting aggressively, than don't worry.

Answer 5

as long as they aint figthing with risks of skin breaking and blood drawing you dont do anything, because then she is just warning him to let her alone which is perfectly ok
