Border collie behavior

Question
Hi, I have a 6 year old border collie, and I just adopted a 2 year old cocker spaniel border mix, and Tucker, the older one. Is very jelous, it's been a couple of days and tucker is still jelous and they fight a bit now and again. Will this work out?

Answer
Yes dogs usually work things out on there own once they know what their 'ranks' are. Now a good way for dogs to do this is to muzzle both dogs and let them sort it out,that way they can't hurt each other and once they establish who is in charge they will stop fighting.
