~I Don't Know What To Do~

A little while back I told y'all that we adopted a dog from the shelter. We introduced the two dogs outside as the shelter told us to do. We kept them separated for a little bit until Jules' kennel cough went away. She got better and we introduced them.
Jules HATES our other dog! Every time we bring them together Jules bites Girl and growls at her. We cannot always keep them separated, it's starting to become really tough. I was hoping she would come around and start to like our dog but that is just not happening... I'm not sure what to do but I might have to re-home Jules if she keeps biting our other dog-I don't want the kids getting bit accidentally.
I wish Jules would just stop being hateful to Girl and get along but I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon. =(

@T_gray Yeah it does and we have tried everything-giving them love at the same time (thinking it was jealousy), giving them both treats at the same time, playing with them together, taking them on walks together-and nothing is getting better. =(

@jahunt Yeah I don't see Jules ever calming down enough for them to get along. =(

@LovingMyBabies That's too bad. Well, good luck. Maybe they'll work things out?

Sad that they don't get along but if it's not working than I guess rehoming is the answer

@DianneN Me too! It is very difficult in this situation, they always have to be separated and that makes things hard.

I hope soon the two will get along, But if not re homing him would probably be for the best.

@fishtiger58 Yeah we have given it a while now and its just not fair to keep one locked up at all times. And the kids sometimes let one of them out while the other is out and it's not good. I do not want any child hurt and that's my biggest concern at this point. =(

@LovingMyBabies I so understand that, I know you love your dogs but the kids safety is the most important deal.

@kaka135 Thanks. She is a very nervous dog, she was a stray before going into the shelter. There are lot's of aggressive dogs at the shelter so I think she believes all dogs are mean-so she attacks them before they hurt her. =(

@mammots Yeah it is so frustrating. With young children here I just cannot take the chance of an accident happening.

@Shavkat We tried that and taking them for walks together-loving on them together-absolutely nothing is getting better.

I'd say take both dogs to a dog training class and get professional help.

@Mike197602 I totally wish I had the money to do that. Trainers are a lot of money and we just cannot afford that right now.
