1. When he bites you does he draw blood?
2. What causes both dogs to stop fighting? Ie does one yelp or cry out? Or does one run away or hide behind something?
3. When they do stop fighting, tell them “What a good boy” as soon as they stop, then give them a treat and be happy so they can tell you are pleased.
4. Always reward good behavior (anything they do that you like: like lying down or just sitting) It does not have to be on command at this point. If you see them or one sitting, you can say ‘Sit’ and give a treat anyway.
5. They need to know what behaviors are good, as well as what is bad. The more you reward the good, a lot of the bad will just go away. |
