We actually have a great article on our website that explains exactly how to housetrain a dog: https://www.petcoach.co/article/7-rules-for-effective-housetraining/0 Feel free to read over it, then post again if you have specific questions after that :) Aggression between dogs in the same household is a complex behavior issue that is a bit beyond the scope of what we can cover in this format - feel free to request a one-on-one consultation with one of us if you want to discuss your situation in more detail, as we would need quite a bit more information about both of your dogs, their history, how they behave around each other, etc. to make any specific suggestions. If you prefer not to do a consultation through the website, I would encourage you to get in touch with a veterinary behaviorist who can evaluate both dogs in person and help you come up with a step-by-step training plan to address the problem. You can search for a behaviorist in your area here: www.dacvb.org In the meantime, I would recommend keeping the dogs separated to avoid any injuries and prevent making the problem worse until you can get an appointment with a professional to help you.
