DA is normal in this breed as you know. This is typical scenario sibling rivalry that just has to be managed properly. There many owners on here with multiple pits that I am sure can offer some advice on how to manage them. What specifically are you trying to do to "break her of this problem" and have you considered working with a trainer? For what it is worth crate and rotate is really not that bad  esp. if it means you get to keep that precious girl safe and sound! |

Your update from yesterday says there is no sibling rivalry between the two, and I'm just curious as to what transpired in the last 24 hours that caused you to suddenly decide to get rid of Zena?

Well how about instead of jumping to get rid of her, since it is soooo hard to find homes for Pit Bulls, and you had said there are nothing but dog fighters in your area, why not start with telling us what you've tried to do to remedy the problem, and then we can help you tweak what needs tweaking. Because this is soooooo normal and typical and I know we all basically said that you needed to be prepared for exactly this situation. Lucky for you and your dogs, you are on a forum filled with people who keep multiple Pit Bulls successfully and have dealt with exactly the same issues as yours  |

Did she do any damage or was it all for show? I think it would be really helpful to hire a trainer. In the mean time, you'll have to keep all toys/resources off the floor, crate them when you can't be with them and I wouldn't have Zena out loose with Zeus until you get this issue under control. In other words, use a leash on Zena. Also maybe you and Cyn can do some joint training sessions so the dogs are exposed to and near each other but in a positive, non confrontational situation. I'm sorry this happened, it must have been really scary for you and Zeus  |

Are you anywhere near Statesville? Even if not, I would email this trainer and see if she can recommend someone near you. www.doglogictraining.com/ |

Also go here and do a search for NC, I know there are some behavior consultants in NC and even if you just did one or two sessions, with the right trainer it could help a LOT: www.iaabc.org/suchen/display_consultant.php |
