New to the forum here, I have a about 2 year old permbroke corgi, got her when she was about 8 months old, we have another dog that is 6 years old not sure of the breed but she is a medium size dog about 30lbs, the corgi has been raised with the other dog her whole life, recently in the past few months they have been fighting, a month ago it was so bad that the corgi had to go to the vet because she got bit through her ear.
While she was recovering the other dag went and stayed at my mom's since the day the corgi came back from the vet they tried to fight again. Now they are both back in the house and they are still fighting. I have noticed lately that it is the corgi that is starting the fights, I have noticed that it is mostly when she feels cornered that she will growl and then attack our other dog. I suspect that it was the corgi that has started all the fights. Since our other dog does not back down they get into a major fight. I have noticed more lately that if our other dog looks at the corgi she will growl at her. Currently we have resorted to them wearing mussels any time one of them growls at the other one.
How can i break the corgi from expressing this over agressivness? this has just started to happen in the last few months, im not sure why she started, nothing has changed interms of housing or any new pets in.
Our other dog is a dominate dog, can this by why now all of a sudden the corgi wants to challenge her?

If the other dog were a true alpha the corgi would not be challenging her. They are most likely both alpha wanna be's.
If they are not spayed, spay them, it might help. If it does not then they are never going to get along and your choices will be to either live with never and I do mean NEVER allowing them to be together or place one of them.
Sorry, but that's been my experience. Female corgis have long memories and sometimes will just not get along with another female.
