Question:

MY PARTNER HAS A 5 YR OLD AND I HAVE A 2YR OLD JRT BOTH FEMALE. HOW DO I STOP THE OBSESSIVE BEHAVIOR SHOWN TO ME BY MY DOG (SHE WILL GROWL AND SNAP AT MY PARTNER BUT AT THE SAME TIME BE WAGGING HER TAIL) AND HIS DOG WILL SNAP & GROWL AT MY DOG WITHOUT ANY TAIL WAGGING)SOMETIMES WE END UP WITH A FIGHT RESULTING IN TRIPS TO THE VET.
WHAT IS THE CORRECT WAY TO SEPERATE THEM IF THEY ARE FIGHTING?
HOW DO I PREVENT THEM FROM FIGHTING?
