Thread: My dogs keep fighting... how do I get them to stop?

so yelling at them when they do it has no effect? Different breeds?

...I take the younger one (the aggressor) by the scruff of the neck, and put her in a room by herself, and while making eye contact tell her in no uncertain terms that her behavior is unacceptable, and shut the door; leaving her alone for about 5- 10 minutes. She gets the message. Then I watch for triggers for that behavior, like a new toy they both may covet, and avoid those situations. give attention freely, but fairly, and hopefully your...

I'll make them stop behaving like animals. Oh, wait.....

Edited on Sun Nov-08-09 09:57 PM by JonLP24 It actually isn't fighting, it's one bigger dog trying to kill(seems like) a smaller dog so they're not evenly matched. I tried several methods so I just keep them separated. When I'm asleep the smaller one sleeps inside a very large cage. About 5 feet wide, 8 feet long.
