I am having a difficult time with my girls fighting. Usually Dora will get a burr up her butt and play mental games on Neeko, after about a week of this she will stop. Occasionally there will be a fight and Neeko always backs down and once we seperate them she runs away.]

Now she fights back and when we seperate she keeps going after Dora. It is like she has had enough, but Dora is Queen Bee of the house and I do not foresee her losing that title anytime soon.

One thing that Dora does is whine at her and keep getting closer and closer. Neeko practically is in my lap trying to get away and then she gets tired of it and starts growling. Well that sets Dora off and we have to put them in seperate rooms.

I know that Neeko is currently preggers and she is due sometime at the end of the month. But this is not her first time and she has never acted like this. Dora is normally the aggressive one and Neeko is very passive.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can try with my girls? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks justme.
I do keep them seperate, except for at night and then they sleep in there kennels in our bedroom. The are on opposite ends of the room and my boys sleep on the bed. Everyone but Neeko will get kicked out of the room most likely at the end of next week until the pups are about 4 wks old.

I can not wait until the peace is restored.

No, this is not a our first litter and I believe in being prepared early. My girl seems to prefer a small place so I place her box in the closet and leave the door open for her. We let the other dogs see the pups on a one on one basis after they are two weeks old. Momma is very protective and gets agitated when the others around when they are that little. I go and sit and do my school work in our room with her, so if she wants company she knows I am there.

When we get to about 4 wks I let the visits get a little bigger and once they are steady on their feet I let them start to explore the house. Of course this is all supervised visitation.

We have about 2 and half weeks togo.
