WHY DO DOGS FIGHT?
Dogs get into fights for a variety of reasons, most of which are rooted in natural canine instincts. And there are certain situations that can turn even the friendliest dog into a vicious fighter.
• Many fights are territorial, such as when a strange dog enters your yard.
• The urge to protect the people in its pack, its food, or some dog to attack another dog.
• Overstimulation and what may have started out as friendly play can go too far, and a fight may break out.
• Redirected aggression is common among dogs that are normally friendly or live together.
• Sometimes dogs simply don't get along. There may be something about the other dog that an aggressive dog may not like, whether it's the dog's personality, smell, or other.
HOW TO STOP A DOGFIGHT
First things first: Never physically get in the middle of two dogs fighting or try to grab their collars. If you put your hand (or any other body part) anywhere near the dogs' heads, you will be injured. Don't be foolish enough to think that a dog won't bite its beloved owner, either. In the heat of a dogfight, your dog doesn't see who's intervening and will bite anything in its way. Remember, if your dog is injured, it will need you to take care of it, and you can't do that if you have been injured in breaking up a fight.
CLEAR THE SCENE, Remove children from the area and keep crowds of people away.
SPRAY THEM DOWN
• Spray water from a garden hose at the heads of the dogs.
• Citronella spray like Spray Shield or vinegar spray in the face may break up a less-intense fight but usually not the worst fights.
• Make a lot of noise, Air horns or the sound of a car horn may be jarring enough to snap fighting dogs out of it.
USE OBJECTS STRATEGICALLY
• Throwing a heavy blanket over fighting dogs may momentarily break their focus and help end the fight. .
• A method that's sometimes successful is to open a long automatic umbrella between two fighting dogs.
• You might also try placing objects like chairs or laundry baskets on top of the dogs to help separate them.
INTERVENE PHYSICALLY
1. Each person should approach a dog slowly from behind. At the same time, each person should firmly grab hold of the back legs of their respective dog and walk backward
2. Staying far away from the other dog(s), quickly begin circling to one side.
3. Still walking backward in a circle, move the dog to an enclosure
