Question:

We have an 8mon old JRT that is showing increased aggressive behavior towards our other dogs. We have another JRT and a min. poodle. The 8mon Jack taunts and then attacks the poodle then the other Jack joins in. The 8mon has not been spayed and has just in the past week come out of heat. I've been bitten while breaking up fights and am at my wits end. During the day the two jacks are crated and the three dogs are never left alone without proper supervision. Will spaying the pup help with her agression? I'm not especially keen on the possibility of surrendering her to rescue but I need harmony in my house again. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
