One dog suddenly bullying the other?!

 Sounds to me like maybe Pepper is trying to take over MacGyvr's role. Also, Pepper should have no bed or couch priviledges until she can behave like a nice girl. Do you free feed? I'd put them both on a 2x daily fed schedule if you do. Treats should only be given when you can supervise. I'm not really understanding how Pepper steals treats, though. Maybe you could clarify.

Good luck!

I have 2 dogs that are really quirky about changes in my house (adding a foster dog for instance). One dog asserts her dominance for a couple weeks then all is well and she becomes bff's with the temp dog. My other female is more passive aggressice and will mark things like beds, rugs, etc. So I remove her access to all those things until the routine is established and everything has settled down.

P.s. Sorry about the loss of pup

 They like little rawhide chews that last about 5 minutes. If we're not in the room for a minute, when we come back, Pepper has them both. Daisy does not stand up for herself at all. They are fed 2X a day with someone in the room. Thanks!

Thanks, your post was helpful. We had never had 3 dogs before, and Mac's death was the first big change these girls have had. We will try your suggestion when we are in the room with them. Most of it happens when we are in another room I think. Just like a human bully, Pepper is smart enough to not get caught. Thanks, again!

There comes a very real time here when you have to make some sacrifices to **absolutely** prevent the bullying.  Yes, there's a point to letting them sort things out BUT, just plain *don't* leave the room when they have treats (frankly, that's a recipe for a fight most anywhere).

If they aren't crate trained, man that would be MY first step -- because Daisy NEEDS a safe place where she knows she won't get bullied.

Don't say Daisy won't stick up for herself -- that's her personality and it's not a negative that she's submissive.

Also -- make SURE you aren't setting things up for Pepper TO be a bully.

Don't provide a treat, dinner, etc. and then ALLOW Pepper *to* steal.  She takes her nose out of her bowl you say "Nuh uh!!  Leave Daisy alone!"

Put Daisy's bowl on one side of the room, and Peppers in another corner -- Pepper shouldn't be able to just stick her nose in the other bowl. OR feed them in crates so they can only get to their own food.

Don't allow Pepper on the furniture if she's being territorial.  That should be human controlled.  But it would probably be better for you to sit on the floor with the dog and have zero furniture privileges for anyone.  Because if Pepper is jealous, then when the other dog gets down Pepper may attack.  I would say everyone needs to be on the floor ALL the time.

It may also help to have a particular blanket or towel for each of them (separate -- NEVER give Peppers to Daisy or vice versa).  But anywhere they DO lay, they need to be **invited** to lay on their blanket.  It's YOUR spot.  So then it's easier to keep Pepper out of Daisy's face.

Two females will often have more of a problem if no male is around to moderate. 

 Thank you Callie for your well thought out advice. We will try your suggestions. I thought it was interesting what you said about females being better with a male around. That's the opposite of what I would have thought. I noticed that your Luna looks very much like our Pepper. We were told she was a bagle but we had doubted that because we didn't see it, but now I guess they were right! She looks completely different from our MacGyver, who was also a bagle. Thanks!

Well honestly you don't know any more than you did before cos we have NO clue what she really, truly is -- um .... shall we all just say "Hound Mix"???  That would at least be accurate!!

I have seen Luner Beller (*grin*) CLIMB TREES -- she's a caution for sure.
