aggression

my oes is one year old and it is the most abnoxious dog i have ever owned. i have two collies and i never had a problem with them biting or misbehaving even when they were puppies. my oes will try showing its dominance on my collies by biting their necks and eating their food and sometimes she even attacks them. she just cant seem to EVER behave. is this something that she will grow out of as she ages? we have tried obedience training and it just does not work.

I'm sorry to hear about your problems with your sheepie. They are not normally an agressive breed, but the problem is cropping up more often lately, in my opinion because of poor breeding in most cases.
Sometimes though, it can be environment related, or nutrition related, or something you don't even know about.

Hopefully you will find some answers there. All of those threads deal with similar situations.
Have you put the dogs in obedience? Have you tried the work for everything method? It seems to me it may be a dog and dog related problem, perhaps enrolling them in classes together? If you have other people to handle your other two dogs some of the time and you handle the sheepdog most of the time?
Good luck!
That didn't work the way I had hoped, just type in agression in as one of the keywords or as the subject, you should get a lot of results.
