Answer
Hi Reka;
Is the situation such that they are in the same yard?
Or that there is no fence?
I wouldn't give more attention to either.
Make them learn to share.
It sounds like you are a lovely person that animals love.
You are very fortunate.
There is nothing that speaks better for a person't ytrue self, than how well animals are attracted to them.
Animals know what is in your heart and soul.
I had a similar situation with my next door neighbor's dogs.
She had one for a couple of years, and he thought of me as his own property. He only shared with my dogs. she got another one, and the little one became jealous of the new one, who was much bigger, but he took anything off the litt;e brat. Buddy, a Schnauzer wiould attach Rusty, a chow mix, if I reached over the fence and petter rusty.
When he acted like that, I would tell him "No, I won't pet you when you are being nasty".
After awhile, seeing it only got him left out, he changed his ways.
Buddy was nice to rusty, until Rusty was about 8 months old, and was bigger than Buddy. That is when the little tyrnt decided Rusty wasn't a baby anymore, so HE was going to take over everything and every body.
Really, you just handle it like you would jealousy between children.
They will behave the way they are allowed to behave.
The first dog's owners shopuld be in one it too.
When the first dog gets nasty, his/her owner needs to correct it, and take it inside, so it can't play.
When you are successful petting both, praise them on what nice dogs they are to share and bahave nicely toward each other.
If they are not fighting, only crowding the other out, tell them you have two hands and can pet two dogs at once.
give more attention to the one who does NOT start the trouble.
When they see it only gets their rival MORE attention, and them less, they will behave better.
