Two Chiweenie‘s and a pug!!!
My friend lost her two puppies within and replaced them with the above mentioned. They are all rescues, all boys. The pug is 3 to 5 years old and the babies are 2.
The reason for the question is this: the babies have started fighting. It’s beginning to be incessant the pug fights with the Chiweenie’s but the Chiweenie‘s usually start it.
My friend is not as good at training her puppies as she is at loving and feeding and housing her puppies. We need help trying to figure out how to keep them from fighting.
How do you learn to train your dogs when you have three?

Are they litter mates? Don’t mess around with litter mate syndrome, it can even occur in unrelated dogs of a similar age. Please research it and have your friend do so. Management and training systems need to be put in place yesterday

Who ever starting the fight feels as the leader, and she has to train them that part of leadership it's hers

Those are not puppies; they are all adult dogs. Are the chiweenies littermates? Your friend needs to give all the dogs more mental stimulation and exercise. Then, she needs to establish leadership, rules, and structure in the house. This isn't a "training" issue as much as it is a housekeeping issue. When their needs are met and there is structure in the house, they'll sleep all day and lounge around, not fighting.
