dog aggression
Thanks, I will pass this on this info. I should have phrased it a bit differently: I didn't just want to be told "be alpha and everything will be fine!". We do not typically walk our dogs, but rather play with them and they play on the acreage-there isn't a great place to walk them because of very aggressive dogs down the road from us. They chase each other around the property, too.
Missy and Daphne do not live together, the houses are on the same property and they usually only see each other outside. Missy is not allowed in Daphne's house because she isn't housebroken-her parents have not done training with her, she comes-or not-and gets cuddled a lot but no discipline. They have never had a dog before. Missy comes to our yard and barks at me and my dogs sometimes nonstop for 20 mins while I play ball with my dogs. I am not sure that Daphne's owners will have a way to establish Missy as alpha over Daphne, but ideas are welcome. I agree that Daphne is protecting Missy, but she comes after my dogs even when Missy isn't around.
