behavior with housemate

We've had Nekoda for about a year now. She's lived with my boyfriend up until recently. So since she was little, I've always brought her over to my house to play with my other dog. They have gotten along great. 3 months ago, I moved into my own house and both dogs now live with me. Everything was great until about a month and a half ago when Nekoda suddenly started getting more aggressive with my other dog, even attacking her. I've had to keep them separated for the past month. What can I do? Any idea to the sudden change in temperment? I thought maybe she went into heat and it would subside afterward but it doesn't seem to be the case. :(

    It would seem that the change in environment plus perhaps the fact that she now needs to "share" you with the other dog, have caused her to feel insecure. So it needs to be sweet and sour.  You are going to need to teach her to not be aggressive by admonishing her sternly, (there are many threads on here about this subject and how to teach her that it's wrong), and you are going to need to give her extra assurances that she is still loved.
