Why is one of my dogs attacking the other when I'm not home?

Question

Hello. I have two dogs, the one just started randomly attacking the other, it's been twice now, while I am not home but my mom has been. It makes me very upset because idk why and I'm afraid what will happen if someone isn't home. i also don't want to have to get rid of the one who has been attacking because overall he is a nice dog.

It would be best to talk with a trainer or behaviorist in your area that can observe the situation in person. When you aren't home, keeping the dogs separated in different rooms or in separate crates is best as even the nicest dog can accidentally injure another without supervision. If the fighting starts when you are there, separating both dogs and allowing them to calm down before reintroducing can help. Also, removing items of contention such as bones, toys, treats, etc can help reduce competition over these resources.
