Oh hunny that is just terrible! How old are they and how long have they been together? Did they get along before, and this just started happening? Im sorry that I dont have any real answers for you but I agree about reading what the dog whisperer has to say. Good luck hun and keep us posted.

Have you tried spraying ( I say loudly at the same time - uh,uh!) them with water when they are fighting? This has worked for me in several different instances, unwanted barking, aggression, etc. My son's gf has been leaving her little chi here, he had a problem of chasing Ruby and biting at her, when she was following me. Three times with the spray bottle and now, if he starts (which he hasn't in days) all I have to do is say "Uh,Uh" and he stops.

I disagree about using thier name when yelling and or disciplining. Never do that. That would be a bad association. Never yell at all. Don't even raise your voice. They read actions better.
You need to show more authority to them. Show them YOU are the alpha and YOUR in charge. When they start looking as if they are going to go at it, step in the middle with your palms to each of their faces and just make sure you DO feel in charge. They can pick up on vibes. Take them by the cuff of the neck for restraining if necessary and just hold them like that untill they calm down. You have got to take charge of this situation before one of them gets seriously hurt. I've seen dogs get their eyes put out over this same behavior.

I've had this problem in the past with my male and female yorkies. The male would attack the female usually when they were laying on or around me. If you know which one is the aggresser then the next time it happens, gently turn the aggresser on her back on the floor or sofa and place the passive dog on top of her. Just be sure to take care that aggresser can't snap at the passive dog. Do all of this in a very calm manner, no need to even speak. Have the passive dog lay on the aggresser for a minute of so then remove the passive dog and let them go on with their day. I initially saw this on the Dog Whisper show and it worked for me after a very short period of time.

browniesmom622 · 02-02-2007, 11:11 AM

youve let them hurt each other for a whole year
you need to get a trainer in the house or keep them seperated at ALL times

No we dont let them together for a whole year....We put one in the pin and let the other one run around...Then they switch when we switch they somehow get loose and then they go at it ...FULL FORCE!!!!

red98vett · 02-02-2007, 12:08 PM

To OP: Animals drawing blood on each other for over a year -- should have been separated long ago. That is the owner's responsibility! Sometimes you have to make tough choices for the good of the animals that depend on your judgement. It might be too late now to train them to get along. You may have to rehome one for BOTH their sakes!

You have 10 dogs in your home now?
