| Neutered males fighting...new F. dog in house after last died suddenly THESE ARE NOT MY DOGS...THIS QUESTION IS FOR A FRIEND....PLEASE HELP...ANY IDEAS ??? Two young males age 2 and a half and 3 years have started fighting after neutering where they never did before. In the house is a new female pup age 5 months, and last female died a month ago age 1 year....who the boys are missing terribly. I suggested it was the new unspeyed girl, and the fact that they might not realise that eachother is neutered and it is a pecking order thing over the new female...plus the fact that they all got on with the last female who died might also be upsetting them. Apparently it could also be the female owner getting fought over...ie. jealousy as both want the attention ???? I suggested muzzeling the two and letting them be together. The last time they were together since the family changed they tore into eachother drawing blood and one had a cut leg and the other a cut ear...both bleeding. They are now kept apart. Any ideas to prevent one having to be rehomed anyone ??? Thankyou |

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | I have 3 males ( one unaltered)and 6 females ( three unaltered) and I do not allow any of them to act alpha. The owner needs to work on this by being with them and if they even look at each other wrong yell " LEAVE IT" or something they can learn. Then the can be squirted with a spray bottle to get their attention. Without an alpha person they may always need to be kept apart forever.

| She maybe walking through the actions but it might be her voice or what she is thinking. She has to be not worried use a stern voice. She needs to have a leash on them and pull one away and make sure they don't look eye to eye. That is what causes the fighting. This needs to be done till they learn to lay down and walk away and not care the other one is in the same room. With them both there she may have to do it with another dog first unless the family will help her out on it. She needs to watch Cesear Milan he does this all the time on his shows.

| Oh right that sounds interesting...I thought them being in separate rooms would mean they would never have the chance of getting over it, but she was understandibly frightened at both babies getting hurt...they are tinnies as well. I will tell her what you suggest...thanks for that...Love Debra x x x |
