Thanks Rose, Thanks Eileen Last night, one more nice long walk, came home with everyone happy and relaxed and then, all of a sudden he was at her again. (I was getting dishes into the dishwasher and noticed I had one to my right and one to my left, and was thinking how peaceful they looked. : ( She just gets into a corner , cowers but bares her teeth. He actually goes at her but does not draw any blood, but it looks dangerous enough for my intervention since she cries. Eileen, I´ve handled no intervention in skirmishes where the fight looks even, but how do I deal with one much larger dog cornering a smaller, more fragile dog in a corner and her crying? I´m afraid I won´t see the blood until it´s too late!
But this morning they met and were fine. Just hung out together, looking somewhat tense but no growling or squirmishes or anyhting. And they chose to be together in a large yard. I´m still confused.

The other option right now is a home with many more dogs! And she has become very attached to me...

They are when they are nagers:-(( OK, I´ll see how long I can keep them separate. I would > be inclined to leave her intact for a while and let her relax .... That makes sense. I´ve spoken to her vet and cancelled the appointment for now. . You must do more obedience work with your boy, he is sounding > wilful and not listening.

I´ll get into that obedience mode. > Good luck Thank you so much and I´ll let you know how it goes Simone
