Default alpha dog
How can you tell which dog is on the top of the hierarchy list??? I got Babs my 11 yr old fixed female 8 years ago, I adopted Max my 4 year old a year and a half ago...these two have had a few (2) spats not serious but still a spat, I just adopted Macy and 11 year old about 3 weeks ago, she gets along with dogs on walks...took her to pit bull awareness day here lots of dogs she was fine sniffed others was real good, but at home she is snarky and has snapped at both of the other 2 on occassion how ever they can all sit in the livingroom on dog beds with no issue (under supervision of course)..... kinda at a lose for what her issue is..

Now I am in charge of the house but I am sure there is some sort of hierarchy between them, is Macy just trying to find her nitch, be the boss, or just a jerk. how do you guys handle if there is a spat or a dispute no teeth touch each other but snapping.. what do you do to the aggressor to let them know that that behavior is NOT tolerated without making it worse
