Thanks both.
Giny, that was a really informative site! Thanks for sharing. I see where I think things were getting in upset, cause when they'd fight, we of course would talk as we broke it up, and we seperated them.
The tension is between Denali and Lilly. Lilly knows that Sheiba is alpha female, and she knows Sarge is alpha male. If Sheiba gives her a warning growl such as to leave her alone, or don't walk near me, etc. Lilly backs off, but as soon as Nali does something like that, Lilly "huffs" and starts growling. So I know the two of them are competing for that rank of subordinate.
My family and I wouldn't be able to sit there and let our dogs fight, so we would probably do the interfering but not saying anything while doing so, and not seperating them. I liked the sound of the hairspray idea.
If any of you have any other info or tips would be appreciated.
What training do you think would be most important for Lilly at this point? Now I don't know what all she has done with her or taught her.. and I would take her to obedience classes if I had the money.
So anyone else.. what do you think I should read up on? Things about pack order and having multiple dogs?
Sorry for so many questions. I just really don't want to give up Miss Lilly a 2nd time and I really want to make things work. I know it's going to take time.. I just would like any help I can get.
