Luna loves to play with blue our 8year old senior dog blue doesn't act his age he loves to play of course he would play back and they would play fight. recently Luna started to become more possessive over her things ex. I can touch her food fine but once blue or my other dog touches it she dashes over and moves them out the way while growling the other day blue and Luna got into a fight and I had to pull them away from each other luckily no harm was done how can I get Luna to be better with him.

Until you are able to consult with a qualified trainer, I would advise feeding them separately. (Feed them in separate rooms, and pick up the food after 20-30 minutes if they don't eat it right away). Don't leave food out for "fair game" feeding. When the possibility of a fight over food is removed in this manner, it can alleviate stress for everyone. Thank you for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!

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 contacting a qualified dog trainer to work with you in person. Good luck and have a good night!
