I took my 9 month old to the vets today for spaying preop as this had been recommended to stop fighting in young females. My 9 month old has started fighting with the 2 year old for the last 3 weeks. The vet said she is having a phantom pregnancy and this is causing the behaviour change due to hormones. Steroids can be given to stop this then a week later she can be spayed and hopefully problem is solved

Hey, Michael.

Probably not in this context. Ultimately, the best solution may just be to prevent them from seeing animals outside by using curtains, window films, or other types of barriers.
But if that doesn’t work, you may need to reach out to a certified dog behavior consultant.

Best of luck!

They have had a few dust ups in the past but recently, the frequency has taken an uptick. They have had two or three altercations in the last month. Seeing other animals outside seems to be a trigger shed, we treat them differently as littermates than if they were not siblings?

Hey there, Ali. Sorry to hear about the problems with your pooch.
We have the perfect article for you: How to Introduce a Puppy to an Older Resident Dog.

And I’d encourage you to keep both dogs leashed whenever you’re not in a fenced area.
Best of luck!
