Hey /an/ I'm new here but I have a question.
I have a dog named bowie, who is a mutt (husky/Australian shep). I've had Bowie for about a year and he's very friendly with other dogs (training/daycare/etc). I recently moved in with one of my friends who has a dog named PJ (coonhound/blue heeler). PJ is the same way, good with other dogs, well trained, etc.

Lately we've been having issues with food. They both get super defensive over the smallest crumb and get into fights with eachother, any suggestions on how we can help them get a long?

hand feed them, have them sit before every meal. separate them when you're feeding them. when you see them engaging in that sort of behaviour break it up and redirect their attention to something more positive

we currently do all of that besides hand feeding, they're never aggressive towards us. They're strictly defensive towards each other about food

Eh, just let them at it. They won't fight till the death. One will be the alpha and one won't. Simple as that.

Start to baby the beta. Be a dick to the alpha.

Currently enrolled, was just looking to see if maybe there was anything else I could do.

I think thats a little easier said than done, if one bites hard enough for stitches, thats a vet bill I'd rather not take
