    Ugh, I hate "trainers".

    Was it a pet store trainer? Lol. You need to have your dog looked at by a Certified Pet Dog Trainer or a Certified Animal Behaviorist.

    These days, any whacko who was raised on the streets of Mexico gets to call themself a "master trainer".

    If someone tells you that something is "untrainable" or "unfixable", it is because they can't think of an answer.
    Many punishment-based trainers reach these conclusions when working with aggressive dogs because an aggressive dog can't be bullied.

    I would suggest positive training techniques like clicker training, you can check out videos on Karen Pryors website : clickersolutions.com

    Also, a good book on aggression: "How To Right A Dog Gone Wrong" by Pamela Dennison.

    There is certainly a training solution for your problem.

    Also, many pure white dogs are deaf, and deaf dogs often resort to aggression because they can't hear things coming. It's the reason why white boxers were banned from the show ring, the gene for whiteness seems to be linked with hearing and liver problems. (so, have his hearing checked).

    I have had friends bring a dog into the family with other pets and have this problem but it usually subsides within a week or so. But I have never heard of sibilings being that aggressive toward each other. I think after a while it would stop but if it does not one may kill the other. Is it all the time? or just during certain times like feeding? If they fight over the toys they are showing ownership of that toy and it should be taken away. And maybe they should never be fed together. If it continues I would have to seperate them.

    1st of all how old is the dog? and if it is being like this i dont know if i would trust her around family. this usually isnt a very good sign.i have dogs and i have seen this and it always progresses
    so i would advise u to be careful as it gets older.
