Emma was my mom's dog but my mom is now in the hospital and doing very bad so Emma lives with me now and .you two dogs. One of my dogs is happy to have a new friend but . Her and my other dog are not getting along very well. My dog, Zoe, seems to be very jealous and even growled at Emma this morning. They have met many times when. I visited my mom and never had problems at my mom's house, only at my house.

It would be best to talk with a trainer or behaviorist in your area that can observe the situation in person. When you aren't home, keeping the dogs separated in different rooms or in separate crates is best as even the nicest dog can accidentally injure another without supervision. If the fighting starts when you are there, separating both dogs and allowing them to calm down before reintroducing can help. Also, removing items of contention such as bones, toys, treats, etc can help reduce competition over these resources.
