Husky puppy with older husky

Question
I have a 4-1/2 year old female husky who grew up with and was recently separated from my past roommate's 14 year old chow chow. The my husky was brought up from a puppy with the older chow chow and over time tried to be the dominant one after being pestered with her food.  This became very difficult and resulted in many viscious fights and later permanent separation was required to keep the peace. The chow has been gone for about 5 months now. I just brought home a 7 weak old female husky puppy for companionship to the older husky. My older female husky started taking to her pretty well after about two days and they were playing and getting along well it seemed. Last night I gave a treat to the older husky thinking she would eat it right away while the puppy was occupied somewhere else. Without my being aware, she didn't eat the treat and was gaurding it and the puppy came across it. The older husky visciously attacked the puppy for trying to eat her treat. I know now to make sure no treats are around but not sure if I should keep the puppy for fear of fights breaking out. The older husky was traumatized fighting with the chow chow and has a fairly nervous demeanor. I'm not sure if that will carry over to the female husky puppy. What should I do?

Answer
You should of gotten her erratic behavior under control before getting the new puppy, she wasn't properly scocolized as a puppy. She is insecure and domanate. A dangerous combanation. You are not giving this dog what they need to be a secure happy dog. This dog is lost and needs guidence.  

 What age did you bring her home at? If it was before 3 months old, did she get proper time to play with other dog, other then the Chow Chow between the age of 6 weeks to 3 months?
 If taken home to early a puppy cannot learn how to properly interact with other dogs, they don't learn the language properly, so to speak. At the age of 6 weeks to 8 weeks the mother dog teaches the puppy, Bite inhibitors, pack order, proper manners when interacting with an older dog. From 8 weeks to 12 weeks they are supposed to be taught this in a more advanced fastion (let out with an older pack) When a puppy is taken and never taught these things, it is like a taking a child who has spoken one language their whole life (we will say 6 years old) and dropping them off with a another family in the middle of another contenent without knowing why they are there now. Now their new family consists of 2 people who do not speak the childs native toung and one that does somewhat (Siberians do not communicate the same way as Chow Chows, a Siberian Husky has a bigger more exstnsive vocabulary then most other breeds.

 In saying that this new puppy was a god send to your older Siberian. But now you have a lot of work ahead of you. You need to get your older dog socolized. I highly suggest working with a local dog trainer on obediance and taking your older dog to a dog park, or even putting her in a dog day care for a day or 2 a week. Puppy will need to go to puppy classes so you don't repeate the same mistake with her as well or you will have the mother of all dog fights to put up with when they get older.

She was setting the treat as a trap for you younger puppy to tell her she is the boss. Don' go thinking it was an accident, your older dog knew what she was doing. You have to be one step ahead of your older dog. She doesn't think of you as somone to be respected if she is doing this in your house. This is her house as far as she is concerned. Her nervousness stems from not wanting to be the leader, but your not doing it she she thinks she has to.

*Note they give a passage in their where they say "Let your dog know you mena business" DO NOT HIT YOUR DOG EVER. This simply means you tell your dog what you don't want and you go through with stopping them, this can be kenneling them, pinning them or being really serous and talk in an assertive tone right in their face. Don't be wishy washy and even if you are unsure NEVER act like it.

Your best bet is working with a Dog trainer in your area on obediance, using positive reinforcment training.

Don't give up on her.
