awww definitely great progress! only a matter of time before it's always like that
Zoey also holds her own very well against Embry, and he knows not to be too rough with her, it's really cute. he just lets her beat on him all day long, and he just lays down

You may not have realized it but you just had progress, from ignoring the pup to at least accepting that it is there. You've mentioned that Kody holds his ground well if he is like Biko (male) even though he is only about 16 months he already dominates Adobo (female) who is 4+ yrs.

I think male Huskies are rather chauvinistic

Yep, he holds his ground for sure, but still respects her. If she really really growls at him he moves away. Let's see how it works out because Mya is very dominant and 2 dominant personalities probably isn't a good thing.

Ughhhh!!!

A little while ago Mya attacked Kody pretty bad and we had to get in the way She wouldn't come in the house so i grabbed the treat bag so that she would listen and Kody jumped on me to smell the bag and she DID NOT LIKE THAT! I guess I have to put him in another room before i use a treat to get her to come in the house

She didn't get a chance to hurt him, but still!!!

Yup- resources are tough. When you and hubby have some time, try this:

Leash both of them in an open space.
Gather as many treats/resources as you can and put them behind you. Have the dogs facing you.
Have them both lay down and give them each a toy.
Let them play with the toys for a minute and then switch. Always give Mya the better toy.
Repeat this a few times. Again, always give Mya the better toy (for now). Eventually, try giving Kody the better toy once or twice, but wait until Mya is handling it better.


You'll want to start with them separated by a lot and repeat this exercise a few times. Then as Mya reacts less and less, move them closer.

A few times a week doing this should help and I bet you'll see results within a month. Remember... this takes time. I can't stress enough, it took Koda and Hailey SIX months before they were both trustworthy with toys and resources. Even now we need to correct Hailey. She guards and hoards from Koda still (it doesn't cause fights, but we still want to correct the behavior when we see it.)

You'll get there
