Well, in my experience from dealing with 'boyz' - Yes neutering will help them get along better, as well as 'other things'.
If I had this situation, I would start with the basics...first I would eliminate the Testosterone, that is at the root of each dog, then I would move onto positive training methods ~ but obviously 'that type of advice' is not what you want to hear.... |
I agree. Afterall, this IS a public forum and you are bound to hear things that you may not like hearing but it's better to post the TRUTH than to sugar coat it and not really offer you anything that WILL help with your situation.
I don't think your situation is hopeless. I know lots of people who have males dogs that live together and have no problems. It's just going to take some time and work on you and your hubby's part. I had really bad potty training issues with my Chi, Cali, and it took us OVER a year to potty train her but now she is 100% trained and almost never has an accidents! So, it can be done.
One great tip I got from watching Cesar, the Dog Whisperer, is that YOU must maintain a CALM attitude when with your dogs and not be fearful or scared of a fight breaking out because they will "sense" your apprehension and it will trigger them to attack. You have to be calm and they will sense your calmness and it will help keep them in control (or something like that, according to Cesar lol). I would definitely recommend trying to watch a few of Cesar's episodes to see how he deals with problems like this.
