Without being able to see the interactions, I am afraid there isnt much I can do without seeing it. Have you considered a behavorist?

No that is my next step.....Molly starts standing strong trying too knock Lacy down then Lacy goes crazy and starts attacking,this time Molly started it soon as lacy came in from outside molly grabbed her by the neck...?

this means " look dog= you may have come in, but I am still the boss.." I cant see the dogs to show you, but having the entry dog sit and the dog inside sit then cookies would stop it, but I dont want them to get hurt while you do this process of training. when I had shepherds, I had everyone sit when they came in- they had something to do, and it stopped the commotion..

I hope they're all doing better now, after a few days rest & meds. Actually, they do have a shot now for KC, Sherman and Star both got it. When you get shots, they have to have a second follow-up shot about 3 weeks later. If they do it intra-nasely, it's only done once. I figured mine wouldn't be too keen about the nose thing, so we opted for shots.

A good trainer/behaviorist may be able to help you with the two females fighting. I can tell you my experience - Siberian alpha females are known for fighting with other females, which is why we now have a male companion for Star. She & Rosie, my RB rottie-mix girl, started fighting when Rosie turned about 3. (Star was 7) Star split her scalp open once - what a mess! They got into it several times, always bloody, and Rosie always got the worst of it. I was upset too, but due to Rosie's unfortunate run-in with a truck, (she died), never had to make that tough decision about rehoming one. good luck with your situation, I'm sure with some good training, you can alter the way they interact.
