terriers fighting near baby/toddler

[stinkypants]

really upset as our dogs seem to be having a few territory battles to do with food, and the girl dog keeps attacking the boy dog, scaring the kids and me... i want to get one of them rehomed (maybe with my in-laws but not asked them), is this unreasonable? husband very reluctant but surely the kids come first.

Why not correct the behaviour instead?

Whether that means employing a behaviouralist for a couple of sessions or by the simple method of feeding seperately, surely these are better measures than discarding with one of your dogs?

Am busy atm but will return with some advice on how to deal with the problem later.

Sorry, pressed send too early. Meant to add please tell more about your dogs - age, whether neutered/spayed, relationship, breed, whether you've had them since pups or if not for how long, where they came from, whether there are any other issues, whether food is an issue wrt humans, whether this is a new problem, whether there is a trigger for it which you can identify, whether it comes with warning or out of the blue etc. More info the better please, meantime feed them seperately.

yes could you give us more information please?
also remember dog to dog aggression is very different to dog to human aggression
also depending on their ages that a tired properly exercised dog is a usually a well behaved dog

hi
sorry for delay responding - busy with 2 little ones!!
more info:
male - 6 years old
female 4 years old
had both since puppies ,obviously male first. they are very close and love being together, play really well in large garden, get lots of attention normally but less so last year with 2 kids.
both dogs have been 'done' altho male still tries occas. to mount female.
my hsband thibngs they are fighting over whose is whose food. have been feeiding separately for 2 days now so hope this may help. once she still attacked him straight away as soon as let them back together again after their food.
sometimes they play fight outside but this is different.
i am very wary of the male dog though (even tho' he is not starting these spats) becuase he is very nervous around children, and snaps occasionally. he has once bitten my husband (years ago) when he pulled hinm by the collar to get him away from a mouse in the garden. at that time i wanted to get him rehomed and constantly fear he may do it again. when i am here alone i minimise how long they are near the kids. female is absolutely soft as anything with the kids thoug - they can sit on her and she doesnt even care.
thanks for your help.
