My female (BC) sometimes throws her two cents into the mix but usually backs off pretty quickly. She's the most dominant of the three, and Alex is the least. Toby, the youngest at 21 months, is (I think) still trying to figure out his place in the pecking order. Any suggestions? I am really worried that this will escalate into something ugly. |

Have you had the retriever's thyroid checked? That can sometimes account for extra weight and aggression. |
No, but that's a great suggestion. He's been on a strict diet and hasn't lost nearly as much weight as we'd like, although the exercise is helping. He's due for his annual, so I'll ask the vet. Thanks! |
Fighting sucks. We've had our share, too. I hope it's an easy fix. I always think meds are a lot easier than trying to change behavior like that. It sounds terrible, but it's true. |
I agree. Alex is the love of my heart, but I don't expect him to be with us for many more years, so whatever it takes to keep him happy and healthy is OK by me. And a little peace in the household wouldn't hurt either. |
