I put stela with her two pups of 8 months old all together surrounded by fences, she is hitting them aggresively, and they are so afraid of her. How can i stop her from doing that?
I would recommend separating the dogs. Just because they are related doesn't mean they will like each other. There is no way to make them get along. Over time, they may be able to live in the same space. Things you can do to help are use calming pheromones (like Adaptil), feed in separate confined spaces, have all dogs spayed or neutered, and not leave out toys or treats that they could fight over. Make sure they get plenty of exercise to burn off excess energy.
