Yesterday I went on a consultation to evaluate two dogs that became extremely aggressive to each other. This happened once the third dog, a puppy was introduced. They are all rescue dogs and they are neutered and spayed.
Once the growl starts and it esculates and at that point it's too late for the behavior modification to be taught.
My sugesstion is formal obedience exercises together on lead with the third dog present.
Teaching eye contact with praise and attention skills. Teach them to stand,wait in place and sit on command. Also teach the down,wait sit exercise. When walking together use a soft nylon fitted muzzle to prevent damage from a bite. The muzzle may teach them they are not in control or dominant. It's not a forever tool.
If I'm hired I'll follow up with the progress.
