My female dog is aggressive to my male dog during heat. What to do?

Question

I’m not the one to take things away from my pups such as food, water, treats, toys and love. Very seldom I will take their toy away for the night because my female will not stop fighting with Asher. Ever since she went into heat, she’s been crazy aggressive towards him and I have gotten caught between a couple of their brawls. They don’t hurt themselves just show teeth, growl and wrestle. She needs to stop resource guarding!! How do you discipline a dog the right way? Yes my toe is from them. Pet's info: Dog | Pembroke Welsh Corgi | Female | spayed | 8 months and 19 days old | 25 lbs

Thanks for sharing your toe, however since we aren't human doctors there isn't much that can be done for that and you should visit your regular doctor. That said, if this is linked to your dog being in heat, keeping the two separated during her heat cycle may help reduce the behavior and prevent a fight from breaking out. Having your female spayed may also help reduce the aggressive behavior if it is related to her heat cycle as she will no longer have them. If the behavior continues to escalate, keeping the two dogs apart and speaking with a trainer in person is best so that they can address the issue and provide a more tailored plan. Picking up and keeping any and all toys, etc removed during this as well as feeding the dogs separately may also help reduce the behavior as well.
