Same household dog fights. - Page 2

Yea..I'm aware of the trouble, but I'm willing to do what ever I need to do to make this work, and I will. Even if I go broke in the process with dog behaviorist consultation. Currently they have their own yards which is fence. Ironically they don't really do any fence fighting. The Jack is more of a inside dog than the GSD, once fully trained I plan on making them part time inside dogs. I understand that they will never be trusted alone ever again, I'm hoping I'm wrong. I just want them to tolerate each other in the process. Thanks everyone for your advice.

i meant to say, this is a tough problem, the best trainers on the planet can be found lacking on it.

 

plan for the worst and hope for the best.

 

be aware there are spatial triggers that can set things off, the most unlikely and stupid things/places (to humans).

 

i would practice muscle memory (your own) on breaking up a fight, have leads and break sticks strategically placed and know how to implement them. practice on friendly dogs in neutral situations, you will look and feel like an idiot but it is worth it.

 

when things happen they will happen fast and at the most unlikely times, if you have no muscle memory you will do dumb things (i have). stay calm and do not get in between the dogs if they start, you will become more aware of the triggers and can stop a lot of things before they start.

 

don't do collar grabs on dogs into it, pushing a dog into a bite by the back legs off the ground like a barrow often is enough to break them from the bite and saves worse injuries.

 

know which dog you can grab if you have to and which one might bolt if you can break them apart.

 

making a big deal can just draw focus to the issue you want to extinguish and spiral it up, complex huh?

 

stay safe and good luck.

 

internet advice should not be given much importance in given the dangerous situation you are in.
