<DIV>I agree with Robert. We use baby gates all over the place.
Ellie and Freddie used to fight alot. Now she realizes that even though
she's bigger, he's in charge. Occasionally she will relapse and try to be
the "boss". When that happens I will grab a gate and put it between
them. She hates the gates and will back off. Then I put her in a
separate room for a time out. If I'm not near a gate a blanket or jacket
over her face will work. Water never does - I've thrown tons of it and she
was never fazed by it. </DIV>

<DIV>When the fighting began there was lots of blood and we were worried we'd
have to part with our dear Ellie. Luckily, we've been patient and she's
much better. It has taken many months of daily walks - giving her a job to
do tracking all the smells in the neighborhood. So now the only time she
goes after Freddie is when her tummy is acting up. We are very careful to
reinforce with her that Freddie is in charge. We always give Freddie
treats first, pets first, collars first, food first - EVERYTHING - he has to be
first so she knows she's not the top banana.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best of luck and with time and patience hopefully the fights will
stop.</DIV>
