How to Stop Two Male Dogs From Fighting
Male dogs have a tendency to fight regardless of the breed. The most common reason for this type of aggression is their way of determining top dog status. There are several things that can be done to stop the fighting or to at least keep it at a minimum.
How to Stop Two Male Dogs From Fighting
Watch the dogs closely for signs of aggression. This will enable you to stop the fight before it begins. Some of the signs to look for are a stiff tail pointed upward, low growling or the showing of teeth.
Use an aggressive command to stop the dogs from fighting.
Place the dogs on a short leash when in public to help keep them under control.
Never jump in between the dogs when they are fighting. Pour water on them or spray them with the water hose.
If there are two adults present, each adult should grab the hind legs of one of the dogs and pull them upwards. This will cause the dogs to lose their balance. This method should only be used as a last result.
