why does my female corgi always attack my female baby bichon?
ive had my 6 year old corgi since she was a baby. shes lived alone for all her life until last august i bought home a puppy bichon whom i rescued from an abusive home. the puppy always likes to play and when seh trys to with my corgi, things get out of hand, it ends with lisa acting agressively toward her, and it scares me. im afraid to leave them alone together in fear that lisa will really hurt my puppy. its been almost a year now and the fighting and agressive behaivor still continues will it ever stop? if so, is there anythin i can to do help?

You should always keep puppies and adult dominant dogs seperate.
I would not have let this continue til now. I don't know if the corgi is spayed, that could be one reason. And it would be safe to have gotten a male that is neutered to be playmate, alot of females fight.
But, it sounds like the corgi maybe was not properly introduced to the puppy then was allowed to pick on her all the time, creating the situation you now have with fighting.
It would take alot to correct it and it would probaly be best to have someone come to your house and see what steps to take. You have to be the leader and be proactive , make the older dog stop and be the boss of her.
I don't know how to tell you to correct it because it has been going on for too long.
The cause is that your dog is not used to living with another dog. This is one reason why socializing a dog at an early age is important.
She may not like living with another dog, and she's definitely not used to it. Plus, since the Bichon is a puppy, she will be more likely to do things that annoy the Corgi.
Keep them separate unless you are there to watch. Let the adult correct the puppy as it helps to teach the puppy to respect other dogs, but it if goes too far, step it in and separate them. My dogs have their disputes, and they've learned that I can settle them. Stay calm, otherwise they'll just get more excited.
