-On a lighter note, do the males respect you and your hubby as the "alpha" of the pack?

The oldest definitley respects my husband and I as the alpha as the pack, the youngest is 90% of the way there -if that makes any sense.

I think you will find everyone here will tell you that you probably can't resolve this issue. Two dogs of the same sex fighting for pack position = keeping them seperated their whole life. It is NOT the same as dealing with dog to dog agression. At least that was my point of asking the clarification question. I know some were suggesting you could fix DTD aggression, but when it comes to same sex issues, I think it might be disasterous to try.

The protocol has worked on all kinds of aggression, no matter what the source. I'd say that it wouldn't work on cases of chemical imbalance but we don't seem to have that here.

I wouldn't make such a statement until my protocol had been tried.
