[QUOTE=les;687863] Putting her in the crate for a time out is not the best choice because dogs don't understand "time out" like kids do - however, to put her in the crate to check the other dog for injuries makes perfect sense.

I don't go the "positive" way, in that if a dog is aggressive you give them treats .... no way.

If it was me - here's what I would try: ..... I would keep Autumn on a leash while you're feeding them. I would keep them in the same set up they've been in. I feel to move them apart, although you're eliminating the situation, you're not teaching Autumn anything. (You know .... the dog eats shoes so the people put all the shoes in the closet but never bother to spend the time teaching the dog NOT to eat shoes! )

Thank Dog! Yes thank you for this.
