I think you will find that one of those dogs is the boss. You may have to watch them closely to decide which one it is but sometimes the other will get tired of being bossed and challenge the other. It's best to watch them closely to find the slight signals like eye contact and body language that goes on just before a fight breaks out. That way you will be able to get them away from each other before the fight starts. If a fight does start use a broom! Don't put your hand in there and get bit. I don't mean hit them with the broom but use it as a device to get between them and once they are unhooked sweep one away from the other. I know they usually settle down pretty quickly. Dogs don't hold grudges like humans do. Hopefully you can find out what their triggers are and stop the whole process in time. Just keep a broom handy at all times until you get this issue under control. |
