One of our girls is being a bully

[Dory1988]

We have an almost 2 year old German Shepherd and a 3 year old Doberman mix. They have always played really well together up until recently. Our Doberman is being a major bully. As soon as I take them outside to run in the yard she starts nipping and growling and barking at our GSD. I'm afraid it will escalate so I've been taking them out one at a time. It doesn't bother me to have to do that on an annoyance scale but I want my Doberman to stop acting like an asshole. Any suggestions? Do you think I need to call a professional?

I might be worth getting a behaviorist to come out and observe what's going on. Its hard to say without seeing thembin action, know what I mean? Good call on taking them out separately until you get this figured out.
