Can you help me with this. Both dogs are real good dogs and pretty calm (Okay our poodle bounces off the walls when he is feeling good but our mix is quiet and calm)

Okay ever since our poodle Zack started getting sick again. We noticed our Jack Russell mix Sasha has been a little more dominant toward him but it got worse over the days he was real ill.

Well Sashas prey drive is starting to kick in toward him (something that has never been an issue)

You can see in her actions that she is fighting it back.....you can see she doesn't want to hurt him but she is fighting instinct.

And I'm kind of worried for Zack who is ill. Now that he is getting better she has backed off and is getting back to normal but it got rough.

I mean she even knew she wasn't supposed to do that and she coward when she saw that we saw her.


She seems to have been fighting the prey drive which is good and you can't fault her for instinct.

But my poodle Zack is going to have these flareups off and on his whole life and they are both only a little over a year old. (they have been raised together)

Is there anything we can do to lessen her drive or make things easier for her when Zackie is sick so she isn't as tempted to let instinct take over?

I want to keep them both safe.....they love each other so much.


Sasha our mix is going after him like he is a squirell.

And she has almost hurt him twice.

But they can't stand to be away from each other.....I seperated them and our poodle Zack cried and Cried



The thing that stinks is the few times Sasha has been sick Zack has been so nuturing to her.


This is how they usually act together.....just buddies








Here they are today now that they Zack is starting to feel better
