    I don't know much about the past history of my adopted Lab, Molly but when we first brought her home, the food bowl was a BIG ISSUE with her and my 1 year old Lab, Maggie. HACKLES UP AND READY TO FIGHT! It's been about 2 months now and she's much better, most of the time. I don't know if it's dominance or what, her hackles come up and teeth in full view anytime we pass another dog on the street and sometimes at home with Maggie. When my son brought his dog over, Molly attached him in full form, HACKLES AND TEETH (major fight) and my son's dog is a Bar Dog and gets along with all pets. I don't think he'll want to come back. Molly was vicious!

    Help is needed! I hired a dog trainer but he only wants to work with Maggie and can see Molly has issues.

    Hi @New to Labradores

    Welcome to the forum.

    Sorry to hear about the problem.

    Can I ask why he only wants to work with Maggie? And where are you specifically located in the world (town and country)? I am thinking we might be able to find a training organisation near you that would offer help for Molly too.
