Help? - Page 3

Thanks for the comment.  My 4 dogs are my kids and I don't think I could bare to part with any of them.  It's just so upsetting that this happens more than not.  I have been home most of the day after coming home from the doctor.  Princess has either been outside with one of the other dogs, or in her crate to relax while inside {not very long at one time}!  so please don't freak out at the crate thing!  Any way, I have a collar on her now too, and when I go to take her out each time, she tries to lunge at the dog that she attacked this morning.  I correct her each time with a tug and tell her you don't do thatttt, and then put her out.  What else can I do with all of the great comments I've gotten so far?  And yes I'm reading them all.

If you have a friend/Husband that is comfortable with dogs. Start taking them on walks together. Get some of the energy level down and do not let them challange each other, set a good pace and keep their focus on you. My Moms is a female, and with the fight yesterday with mine, I am not going to stop having her over. I am just going to be more aware and keep the triggers for the fights down.  If something were to happen to my Mother, I would still take her Dog, I love the bitch. I would just have to accomodate the house to prevent the issues. If that means crating one or the other, or 1 in the kennel or bedroom while the other is lose, so be it. I love both of them and would not rehome either, it would tear me in two, so house divided it is. Better plan is for Mom to live a long time.....

SW:  You said "she knows i'm not happy with her"  That may be true, but she has no clue why, so don't hold a grudge!  Bitches will fight very violently, we don't always see it coming or understand why, so you need to shake it off for the dogs sake. You can keep all the dogs but you really should keep them seperated when they are loose from now on if you want to keep the peace.  Walking them together is a great activity and remember a tired dog is a more mellow dog.  Good luck! 

Ty sue.  I appreciate your comments a lot.  You are very right that she has no idea why I am upset with her.  She tried to like my bite a little while ago and sat by me.  I am definately going to keep them separated while I'm at work from now on.  Usually I leave them out together and there is no problems what so ever.  It's ONLY when you ask them if they want to go out, for some reason.  I have figured out the arrangements for when I'm at work so all will be comfortable and I won't have to worry.  I love her so much, I just hate to see her acting like this.  And the other one so afraid!  Today every time I take her by the collar to lead her outside, and she walks by the other dog which I have been trying to avoid, she lunges at her somewhat like she's still angry.  I am hoping she gets this out of her system soon.  I'll keep ya posted.  Thanks again.

My hubbies father has an intact Akita and an intact Rottie/Pit mix.  These dogs were foisted upon him by the irresponsible, idiot child/man son who dropped them off at dads temporarily about 8 years ago!  He refuses to keep them seperate because he thinks that would be mean and he won't neuter them because thats not natural.  These dogs have spats at least once a week and REALLY nasty fights about once a month.  I am resigned to the fact that one day one of them might end up killing the other.  Oh well, at least he pays the vet bills.

No solution but to keep them seperate,,,,,I run one male one female , and dont tell the doctor of Emer room your dog bit u   in Texas its an automatic impound and 10 day quarantine to the tune of almost 400.00.......My males will fight to death and Ive accidentally let out the male instead of his daughter who looks just like him and at late night , I goofed twice....my Tiekerhook male didnt even wait 1/2 second and the fight was on    An Enclavehof and a Tiekerhook......I had to choke one male , Austin, who is smaller than Dieter, and drag him unconscious with Dieter hanging on , and blood everywhere, and me included,  legs , hands, and arms all got it,  as they dont know their biting me when the go into the frenzie....into a barn and shove him in with my foot slammed the door on Dieters head and I shook for 30minutes and my blood pressure was at the top of the highest pine tree.....My females do the same thing and even the 10 year old, who has Tiekerhook in her, got full bite and would not release and I had to do the same with them except I just drug one into an outdoor kennel still attached to Pepsii and squeased the head in the bars till one released.....Ive made these mistakes several times....and its a mistake I cant make again,,,,Im too old to handle this....but when u get busy , it happens,.....all my males at the first 15 mos to 24 months before I moved to country , did platz together in my other home.....all 4 of them   but none had been bred.....three of my males never were bred and I didnt seem to have too much trouble but I never fed or let run together.....just on the obedience platz together for fun to see if I could keep all 6 , two females included here. , in a platz for a long period.......I do not let female puppies run with an older female either because of dominance....can ruin a puppy drive....my dogs are high drive and I always keep a dominant one, Alpha or no., the word means beginning and an alpha dog wants to be at the front and it she cant get to the front of the pack , a fight will ensue.....Ive never heard of an Omega dog????lol   the word Alpha is overused and not used properly when describing some dogs, I agree with whoever made that observance.......
