Unfortunately, it has happened two more times. Once when I was taking my client outside in his wheelchair. All the dogs get under foot whenever we are in motion and I saw Dolly was trying to stay away from Blue but with the comotion, they were nose to nose. They just started going at it. I grabbed Blue by the collar and sternly said NO. She backed off right away and I put her in the room by herself for about a half an hour. I can't remember what happened the other time. That makes it 3 times. That was about 5 days ago and I haven't been letting them get to close but it leaves my hands tied to do some of the things I have to do. I can't figure out how to straighten it either

I am a caregiver and moved to a small town in Nevada in Feb. of 2018 with an older gentleman who needs help taking care of his 5 dogs, along with himself. The dogs all got along great. The biggest is a German Shepherd down to a larger chihuahua. One is deaf and another has a cleft paw but they all got along great. One day this guy looked over our back fence (they have their own huge yard to play) and asked if I knew who's dog this was that he had on a leash. I looked over and he had a beautiful blue Pit puppy, about 6 months old. I told him no but do not take her to the pound. We would take her if he couldn't find the owners. He said he found her under his truck dying from the 115 degree weather and she seemed to have been abused and ran away. Two weeks later he came back and said he had no luck and couldn't keep her. He brought her in and asked the gentleman I live with, what he thought. He said she was beautiful and we would keep her. Everything was going ok, she plays a little rough and I try and stop her and calm her down, but she is so sweet and follows me all around. Then about a week and a half ago, when we were coming home, I was helping the gentleman out of the car into the wheelchair when I heard them really fighting inside. I told him to wait a minute and ran and unlocked the door and saw Blue (the Pit) on top of the female, Dolly, who is American Eskimo mix, who used to be the dominate female. I put Blue in a room by herself for an hour. I have been trying to work with her with the training games and such but between all of the dogs and the man, my time is limited. This is a small town and they don't have any behaviorists that I can find. I love this dog and want to keep her. Please, any suggestions would be welcomed.
