My 9-month-old dog attacks my other dog for attention. Help!

Question

I have issues with Buckshot (almost 9 mths) wanting to be aggressive towards my beagle, Lacey (3.5 yrs old), but NOT toward the lab mix (2.5 yrs). If Lacey is getting attention, Buckshot will literally attack her, and bite me or my husband once we try to separate. Lacey is a registered Emotional Support Animal for me - PTSD, anxiety, depression. Can someone give advice on how to change his behavior? I know he wants to be alpha, but Lacey is so scared of him, I hate it. Please help! Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered | 8 months and 22 days old | 70 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Usually these behaviors can be corrected but this usually requires in person training by a qualified dog trainer. I recommend you consider hiring a qualified dog trainer to work with you in person. Good luck and have a good night!
