We have one male dog and two female dogs. Our two female dogs can't be stay together in one place coz both of them start to get attention from our male dog. If the male dog went to the other female dog the other one one will get jealous and start barking and biting the opponent and start fighting. They really have a real fight and its difficult to stop them. So my father decided to put the other female dog outside of our house and keep them apart.

Hello dear ciades. It is interesting to know that the two female dogs fight against each other for the same male dog out of jealousy, which shows that he is very popular between them both. I have no idea how the male dog thinks about his enjoying popularity between them and the fight caused because of him. I hope that he will think of a good way to deal with this dilemma as they are of the same creature and he is supposed to know better than us humans. Dogs are clever animals, aren't they? Let's leave it for them to get settled. lol

I think it was a good idea so that it avoid such fights. Usually the tougher female dog will show her dominance aginast the weaker one. I hope that you have solved the problem now.

If you have to separate the females and can't keep all dogs inside the house with babygates/crates, then rehome one of the females. It's irresponsible and cruel to shut a dog outside just because you don't want to take the time to train the dogs and teach them to live together, they're pack animals and require lots of attention from you. By the way, I'm fairly sure they are not fighting over the male. The top reason females fight is to claim leadership of the pack. Dogs who do not see you as their leader will try to claim leadership for themselves, and the leader in a pack is always a female. It's actually quite rare for females to get along.

may be try to get another male dog...but wait...you have to separate each pair ..or else may be both males will get attached to the same female or vice vesa.....but a better solution is to find some other means of accomodation for the another female dog...... Yes,dogs do get jealous very easily.......I have witnessed a number of incidences so many times........ Have a nice day.Cheers!
