Fixing dog aggression between dogs living in same home

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

www.pakmasters.com
In home aggression between two dogs. I get contacted every single day about this. It can be fixed permanently but it’s very difficult and MUST be done by the owners with guidance from an experienced trainer. Treats won’t fix it and neither will e collars. Rewards won’t fix it and neither will punishment. The mindset of the dog must be changed

    I know I can’t take much more my 2 girls hadn’t fought for almost 2 years. They just turned 3 and 6. I was trying doggy daycare so I could go away for a few days I took them individually I took them separate trying to get them socialized everything went great until my son and I dropped them off for their stay last Thursday within five minutes I was called and they needed vet attention for bites they attacked each other. I just returned home two separate people had taken them so we could still go on the trip and within a few minutes my older dog who’s ear is still badly hurt did not want the other dog near her of course and Snapped a little I have work all week. I watched the video and I am willing to do anything. I don’t understand if I get those collars how I leave them on always though? I feel like I have to separate them while I’m at work after this incident…just my two kids 12 and 19 will be home.

    @@jaimyroland7581 How are you doing now? Our dogs are getting along again. But we had to keep them separated for 3 weeks. During that time we took them out individually for long walks and when returning home, always let them see each other through the glass door at our back garden. After two weeks they started to go near each other on both sides of the glass door without getting aggressive. Now they are fine being in the same room again. But we have to always make sure they don´t get on each others nerves., eg. when going out, one of them always tries to bite the others tail, so we have to tell him off and make him sit and wait. This really happens every time we go out. But we are trying to remember the main thing: we, humans, are the bosses and the dogs have to obey. And when they do, they also enjoy life and each others company.

    I made it through all 27 minutes and it felt like you were just getting started! Pure gold! You talked about some of our exact problems and some of the exact mistakes we are making! We have several dogs who mostly live in peace. One is periodically aggressive against our oldest dog. Other times they were fine and the fight (one-sided) starts out of the blue. Yes, the injuries to our old girl are super traumatic for her and all of us. We want to give it a try to not have to give up the other dog as she is great in all other ways. I've been failing as their owner - thank you so much for showing me how I can do right by both of them. Most of my mistakes have to do with letting the aggressive dog make too many decisions (invading my space, guarding me from other dogs, bad on leash, etc) Please do a Part 2 and go ahead and talk for an hour.

Old girl will take so much but young dog is hell bent on making a mess out of her even with a muzzle on and then the old girl reacts and oh 😮 wow! I learnt more in this half hour than I have in my whole life and this is exactly what I was sitting here searching and searching for. Good luck with your doggos. Would love to hear how you progress.

    @@aussiegrace Unfortunately, I have an update on our progress already. The aggressive dog re-attacked again. Our 12 year old is being stitched again as I type. This was not situational at all - they were not crowded together, no resources involved or anything like that. I have been keeping them apart while the old girl healed. Just took her cone off last night from the last bout. All my mistake, the aggressor was far behind us and on a long leash as I was moving our old girls from an outbuilding to our yard. Things were calm and I thought the situation was safe and under control The aggressor came some distance to attack from behind and it was on before I knew it. So I get the total idiot award for subjecting our faithful dog to this. I have to choose loyalty to our long time faithful companion over the otherwise sweet rescue we took in. Only you know your situation. Based on my experience, I would advise (and I'm an idiot so don't take my advice) that you review Larry's video, take the question very seriously, and picture in your mind your 8 year old seriously injured or dead. With that potential outcome in your mind, weigh whether 1) you are up to the task of solving this behavioral problem and 2) if the risk of injury or death to your faithful longtime companion is worth it if you don't. Sorry to be so blunt, but this is very immediate for us and I deeply regret having put my dog at risk this way. This is not a rash decision on our part and we have other dogs. I hate to surrender the aggressor back to the shelter that she came from, and that I volunteer at. But that is the outcome for us. I'm not saying it is impossible to fix this problem. Had I known Larry's advice when this problem started we would have more time and might have been able to fix it. But we were well down the road with our old dog having been attacked twice already. The third attack eliminated all margin we had left and, as I said, I feel stupid for not calling it earlier. It came at our dog's expense and not mine (except the emotional toll). I wish you success with your problem but really hope you will carefully consider. If you proceed, maybe the best route would be to get the best possible trainer to help you. This is a serious problem and the dogs pay for our mistakes. Hindsight is perfect but zero comfort. Good luck.

    We were having issues with our 6 year old chihuahua and our new Aussie puppy. Chihuahua was resource guarding and the Aussie loved violating her space, regardless of getting bit in the face. He’s so young that he doesn’t understand dog language yet. We started with telling the chihuahua no and removing her from the situation. It wasn’t helping. I followed everything here for 2 weeks and what a difference! It’s amazing how the chihuahua looks at me right in the eyes when the Aussie is out of line. She knows that she doesn’t have to handle it because I’m going to. She calmly waits for me to remove him. We’ve gone 2 days now without a single attack, growl, or snarl and they’re even starting to share toys. The puppy is starting to respect her space. Thank you!!

    This is so great. Thank you for this. Both of my dogs have lived peacefully for about 5 years together, and recently one has been lunging at the other and cornering him. You are 1000% correct that it's because I haven't been putting in the time, and I've allowed one dog to feel comfortable doing so. I've even noticed that after I break her away from him, and tell her to leave, she will start to growl at me until i do not move out of her space. She then seems insanely guilty. She has always been a very anxious dog, and I feel awful knowing that it's definitely due to me not providing that leadership and confidence. I wish I lived closer because I know this can be fixed. I've spent well over $1,000 dollars in training, and they all want to make loud noises and stomp or yell. I just want respect and for them to both know that I'll step in when needed. This is so helpful, thank you!

    I found the specific examples most helpful, like needing to step between my dogs before the first bark and separate both the instigator and the barker. I know I need to train each of them taking turns in the cage. And when my older dog is resting and the younger dog wants to play I need to remove the younger dog and move the older dog from his spot. I would soak up all of the examples I could get! My dogs are not aggressive but don't like each other. I get scuffles that can be ended verbally but sadly occasionally the older dog gets hurt (ear bites). It breaks my heart, but I will work through anything!

    @@ameliablack4613 My problem is exactly like yours. My older dog is a Newfoundland and he is really old, the second is a hyperactive 1 year old field Golden Retriever. The only good thing about all the play-fighting matches they have, is that the Newfie became more active, due to his restless neighbor, and I think without him, this 8 y/o overweight and lazy guy who did not want to move before, would die by now. On the other hand, most of his life, he was the only dog in the house and received all the love and attention and when he saw the little puppy, that was sick and needed a lot of care and time, he was not happy. Now the little pup got much better, grew up physically (mentally he is still a baby), the older guy decided to show him that he is an alpha and regularly "domineering" him without paying attention to his arthritis and weight. Little one, stays still, but right after this "procedure", thinks, that now is his turn and he is aloud to play --- fight with the old guy. Even though he shows that he is playing (ail wagging, posturing), the older one does not like it one bit, and that's when barking starts. In the end he is trying to hide under the table (still barking), while GR is trying to get him out by grabbing his ear. Another unfortunate thing is that the old guy hates when the young one is playing with toys, especially when game involves the human (tug, balls throwing) and he barks, and barks, and barks, to the point his voice gets hoarse. Since he personally does not care for the toys or games, we can not invent a game to incorporate both of them. His barking is so loud and annoying, that the little one stays without his favorite toys. I love the fact that my old Newfoundland lost some weight and became active again, but I realize that this situation is not healthy. I also see that both of them trying to get more attention than another one and jealousy is a big part in their relationship.

    Thank you so much for this video! We have 3 female dogs, 2 hounds and a pit. The hounds we rescued several years back and they both had rough lives before we got them, one was even abused regularly, so they have their own triggers and insecurities we have worked through and the pit we have had since she was a puppy (she’s the youngest) and the pit has been picking fights with the other two since she got to be about a year and a half of age. Last night, she drew blood on our very docile hound who has never engaged in a fight since we have had her. I think it took that moment to realize it wasn’t just rivalry between the other two. It was extremely difficult to separate them because the pit doesn’t know when to stop once she gets going and we have honestly both ignored and probably contributed to the warning signs in the past instead of taking the action needed to prevent it from going this far. We kept them separated last night and are done with the training methods that aren’t working (we never punish them physically, but like you said - positive reinforcement won’t work for this either) and are ready to get down and dirty with the tough love. This video goes along with other research I’ve done online and I’ll be taking what you said to heart. Thank you again and I hope to be able to share a positive update with you a year (or sooner) from now.

I'm taking your video to heart and implementing what you spoke about. I showed your video to my fiance and we're both on board with jumping up to intervene when the dogs change their body language and facial expressions and we're committing to NO more fights.

    Thank you!!! This video affirms the lightbulb moment I had today. My 11yo yorkie hates my retriver mix grandpuppy. Thus whenever the puppy visits, I keep them separated and interact with them separately. Today I was like 🗣"Y'all gonna learn to get along!" Started with a walk together. Now we're in the same room both on leashes "ignoring" each other and FOCUSED on me with redirection as needed. Both are crate trained so now I'll just put their crates side by side instead of in separate rooms. Going to also get the dominance collar for the puppy because she pulls when walking. The harness we use is not working. 🤣🤦🏾‍♀️

    Thank you for the advice ! Will put it to good use. We have two female German shepherds. Both 10 months old from different breeders. They’ve been through professional training with prong collars and the trainer has insisted that keeping the leashes loose is best and tugging or snapping to correct behavior. We’ve made the mistake of letting them play rough and only correct behavior when it starts to seem a little bit too rough. Today they got into a fight in the backyard while outside with my kids. My son had to pull one away from the other after one tried to take a tennis ball from the Alfa female. We’ve been concerned about this becoming a problem but didn’t recognize the signs in time. Fortunately neither dog appears injured and my son only suffered a single tooth scratch on his hand. We love both of these dogs and I personally spend most of my time with them. It sounds like I’m going to be spending more time and energy to keep them both safe and able to live together in the same home. I appreciate your insights!

    Wow! Having problems with 2 of my male dogs in my 5 dog pack. Sir, you are spot on!!! I immediately ordered a leerburg collar. My main problem dog is a silver lab. All the scenes you described are the " ok most of the time then periods of fighting for dominance and possession of me. My fault for not being Alfa leader when the lab was a puppy. I had gotten this under control a few months ago and all was going well, but I had to have laxed. The only explanation for it starting again. I live alone with my 5 dogs. All big . Labs and plott hound's. I'm not ready to give up by finding one a new home. So, I've gathered alot from this video. Yes I did watch it to the end. I can't afford a trainer, but I'm no dummy to dogs. I can do this! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for opening my eyes on this issue!!!! Take care! Sincerely. Beth

    Thank you Larry Krohn! Have 2 Male full brother (different litters) Dobermans who can now be in the same room without muzzles as long as they are calm. Still using muzzles in the back yard. Have worked almost exclusively with the growly, less confident one. Still times will see looks, mostly from the younger one still a bit afraid, but our routine is so good, will just say Bathroom and he goes into the bathroom til the other 2 go out first, since the 2 yr old has doorway issues. They haven't tried to kill each other, but the pup, at about 14 months old, thought he'd try to take over. The older one is very laid back (even a therapy dog) and avoids most of the time, but wasn't going to let the pup over either. Got the pup neutered when Covid first started - try to find a vet to neuter during the start of Covid. Picked him up from the vet office and he snapped at my husband - first time ever. Thought maybe it might be partly the anesthesia. Both dogs were best of buddies before and went to multiple classes, socialized both from the time we got them as puppies.

We as owners failed to see the earlier signs . Our terrier was fed up being jumped on and Tbe old English ignored her warnings . Both full on fighting ! But luckily a good behaviour chap has helped us . This video is one billion percent how it is! Thank you! Watched it twice and cried both times. We have now introduced a crate downstairs so we don’t separate them When I’m at work. Terrier in the crate.not upstairs anymore! Ours are the hard to read type as they were great initially .

    As a trainer, I run into this often and what is most frustrating is that owners actually DON'T want to put in the work. Everyone wants the Benji or Lassie in the movies and can't accept the realities of dog ownership. You're right--the ones who are willing to put in the dedicated effort are terrific, but so many of the people I encounter have kids and/or too many other distractions to be able to focus fully on the dogs. Sadly, these are the same families whose children get bit when all hell breaks loose. Another struggle is when the adults are not on the same page. I always ensure that BOTH adults in the family can see eye to eye and work TOGETHER on correcting the situation. What I find fascinating is the personal psychology of the people I work with. Very few want to be what they perceive as the bad guy. "But I want Fido to LIKE me!" Teaching respect through discipline and by "being the captain" is what keeps dogs OUT of shelters, folks.

    My gsd is now 11 months and very strong and big ..he's much better with my dogs now, very occasionally he still has a go at them but much much better as he's grown..like you I was afraid I couldn't cope with it all it was too intense but when ever he got aggressive with them I made him go to a place in the house where he couldnt get to them, and also in view of them so not totally away from their sight(I sectioned off an area with a baby gate in the hallway) and he stayed there till he calmed down...and I mean EVERYTIME he had a go I moved him and said NO very firmly it was exhausting but he knows now if he does have a go he's being moved. And all the family do it they have to be involved too. Also in the garden I just kept an eye on him if he started I put a lead on and walked him in the house again and again and again ....I don't think there's a fast simple solution it's just routine discipline and being consistent with them once they realise they can't get away with it they start to learn...and he's such a wonderful boy now they play together sometime roughly but you get to know the signs of possible escalation and just follow the routine you have . It's difficult if you are at work or out shopping etc so at the moment if I can't bebthere they are sectioned off in the kitchen so they are together but can't harm each other he's still so young and hasn't been done yet so I don't want to risk them being on their own yet till I'm 100% sure. They are wonderful dogs but very hard work for a year or two my 3 year old gsd is calm obedient she's such a pleasure. Hope you get on OK good luck.
