 Fighting Yorkies Help!
Hello!
I have 2 female dogs, both are 8months old. One is Heni a purebred Yorkie with papers, the other is a Yorkie/bichon mix, Arshas, 10 days younger. I got them a month apart, Heni in Jan, and when she wouldn't quit barking at 4am, Arashas in Feb. They used to get along.
2 Weeks ago Heni the purebred went into heat. My dogs used to have "spats" and fight for attention, but since this heat, they fight like vicious animals. I am reminded of cats mating, fur flys everywhere and when I broke up the fight, I got bit on the thumb badly. I've tried muzzels, water bottles, loud noises, pinning them both to the ground and showing that i'm alpha. Nothing has worked. I need help.
Should I get them both fixed? I don't want to bred this kind of Temperament. Alone they are the best little girls ever. Together they are fighting machines. How about shock collars? I don't know what to do, in the same room they stare start to grawl and then, kaboom! I've had to zone off my house because of this, and I don't know what to do next. Being they are both yorkie.. they are both head strong. The last fight my hubby got bit on the leg badly. The biting of us isn't intentional I know that.
Help,
