(Beautiful 7 weeks old) She is only about 3 1/2 pounds. The biggest one ,9 pounds, normally will just walk over to her and start in. She is becoming very timid now, but fights back ferociously. Is there anyway to stop this? I am thinking of muzzling them when ever they start to fight. Would this help? Spraying with water doesn't slow them down. Thanks for any and all help. I don't want to have to get rid of one of them. |
This is a very volatile situation and as someone stated above, one or more of these dogs can end up seriously injured or worse yet, dead.
When you can't referee, I highly recommend crating everyone and exercising them outdoors individually. It is a big responsibility to have intact males and females. Crates can save lives.
Owners are most typically bitten by their own dogs when trying to break up a fight like this.
