[Dailydrool] Dottie, turning into a real bully

[saraberry at aol.com]

This is one of those situations that if you get a trainer to help you out asap, it can be solved.  First though, I would have both Dottie and Scoobie have complete physicals to make sure nothing physical is going on, like thyroid or UTI, or something worse.  I have seen cases of bizarre aggression toward an older dog with an illness.  It is like the younger dog says they are going to take them out fast so they won't linger or something... very odd, but not necessarily what is going on here.

I really think you need at the least an initial consult with a good trainer as soon as you have ruled out any medical issues.  The longer you wait, the worse it will probably get.
