She sees you as HER possession...it is a leader problem...If it were me being possessed by one dog, I'd start walking them together on a leashes...one one each side to start (later you will walk them both on one side)...to instill the pack thinking, with YOU as the leader. It's called a migratory walk...the kind wolves take when they are in search of a new hunting ground. There is no stopping to sniff, or bark at other dogs, it's sole purpose is to move from one place to another.

The dog psychology part is...YOU become the leader by virtue of the fact that YOU direct where they go, when they stop...you are in complete control of BOTH. The side benefit...is that your older dog HAS to view you as the leader (since you control the leash)...and instills the pack sense within her, with the younger dog (BOTH have to be followers). It will take a few walks to get this going...but it's way easier than being on the verge of a dogfight, everytime the pup comes near you. You will gave to be vigilent until you see changes start. There's NOTHING wrong with sending the old dog away, when you pet the pup...that keeps your leader-ness intact, in your girl's eyes...YOU are the director of ALL that she does.

PS...Dogs really DO like having a strong, confident and fair leader in dog/human relationships...YOU CAN DO IT!!! happy

first off id like to say that I absolutely LOVE that pic of those two dogs! awww that brown pit is really cute not to mention the other one!I think it may be a problem where she thinks your hers and hers alone she doesnt like the fact that she has to share you so she trys to keep you all to herself so when she snaps at the dog or whatever she does just get up and walk away it may take her a while to get the message but when she does I think you may find it to be around them both at the same time a lot better
