When I got my second chi, my little rescue, my trainer told me to put a harness and leash on the rescue. Whenever he tried to jump on or annoy my first chi, his new big brother, I tugged on the leash and said, Don't bother your brother! In ten short minutes, the entire dynamics changed. The theory is that the first dog, your Jaelyn, has to feel secure. Once she's feeling secure, They will be better. My boys run around the house together like crazy and can travel in the same bag! Good luck!
