Question
i have a 3 yr old female and a 1 yr old male pitt bull. Together they are great and one on one they are great, but if you leave them together alnoe, the boy dog initiates disaster and the girl dog follows. she has been completely house broken for 2 1/2 yrs. what can i do to stop this? and the way they charge teh door when someone comes in?

Answer
Don't leave them alone together.  put them in separate spaces.

Front door aggression or inappropriate behaviors is a problem that must be addressed in person by a certified applied animal behaviorist (Ph.D. or DVM.)  Desensitizing this is difficult and the behaviors must be seen firsthand, as well as a temperament evaluation for both dogs and a strong case history regarding other behaviors.  Contact the veterinary college closest to you and ask for a referral.
