If you ask me it sounds like all shes doing for real is showing dominance so all you have to do is show her that you are top dog not her. Take her food make her sit and watch him eat and you tell her when to eat dont let her decide. I had two males doing the same thing at about the same age it works trust me...

When did this start? If it was just recently, make sure she is not in heat! If this is an ongoing problem, You will need to step in and be there pack leader in a big way. This is not something you want continueing for one more second of course. There is really so much more info needed to really get a grip on the situation you are in but I will try my best with the info we have. Without the backround info I can not attempt to guess why she is doing that.. maybe you show favor to one of them or he is just downright annoying to her, who knows. However what matters is that you do not allow her to continue. Take them on pack walks together on a daily basis. Treat them both equally! Do not allow one to walk ahead of the other or either to walk ahead of you. Only the pack leader has the right to choose who will fight and who wont so take back being in chargeSmile Do not permit her to bully him or show her dominance over him, you will need to correct her at the first look or sign of this. In the beginning this will take a bit of work on your part to be constantly on your game and correcting her constantly but once she knows your not backing down, she wont try it anymore. But important important is the pack walks daily with them together to increase pack bonding.

I don't take any chances with my dogs. I feed my female in her crate and the male eats in the kitchen. I practice having them "give" me items, toys, bones, etc. If I want it, it's mine not theirs. I would not leave two pit bulls in a pen together, evidentally you are going to have a problem and someone will get hurt. I know both of my dogs history's. They were both family raised around dogs, kids and well socialized, they are 2yrs and 3 yrs now. I don't even leave these two together unattended. Things can get ugly in less than 3secs over an item. You must watch your dogs carefully for the signs they will show which will tell you if they are annoyed. Maybe a tail straight out and stiff, Ace's eyes start to dilate and contract........that is my one second warning!
Keep your dogs save........Keep them apart unless you are there and then make sure they are listening to you and respecting every thing you ask of them.
