YT Addict | Getting very worried well never get your arm inbetween two fighting dogs. I have teeth marks on my wrist to prove it. My papilon kept wanting to play on the bed with my yorky boo. Lately they seem to be getting rougher and rougher with their play. Boo was trying to love on me and princess wanted to play. So i pushed her away from boo. She kept bite playing with him after i said no. If She does not like to do something she does not want to do she is vocal about it groweling. She will mouth me but not bite. But expresses her anger . Well she did that and boo twirlled around and they went at it. I think he either thought she was going to attack me or him. While trying to break them up before they kill each other princess got my arm i have teeth marks to prove it. It bled in every toothmark. Boo got a nuckle. Im begging to get scared one of them may hurt the other. Read a post the other day where one yorky killed another. Where another yorky killed a pom. Then where a male killed two females. Now im more concerned about princess my pap hurting boo. I love them both so dont want to get rid of them either one. But how do i stop this agressive behavior. Boo goes after princess if i have food. So i put them both out of the room. He also will also forbid her to come up on the bed. She gets submissive then and wont come up. Which i get on to him for. If one or the other were to kill i would not be able to keep the one who lived. I dont want it togothat far. But im at loss. Right now both are in seperate cages. Please i need ideas. Sorry so long. |

| Here is a good place to start. Resource Guarding: Treatment and Prevention You may want to also get very serious with training and managing. Both dogs must earn their way onto the furniture, your lap, etc. Begin using the NILIF method: Nothing in Life is Free Obedience train, tether, crate and rotate (not necessarily forever, just until things get back under YOUR control). I'm sending you a pm as well. Remember, Yorkies are terriers, they can be rather intense little things. Oh, keep your bites really clean - scrub with warm water and soap several times a day. Epsom salt soaks can help with pain, swelling and possible infection. Coconut oil applied to the wounds helps fight infection and keeps the skin moist enough to heal quickly. (Trust me, working as a vet tech for upteen years has taught me a little about bite wounds. lol) |

YT Addict | I just read the first link fixing to read nothings for free. Read a little on that the other day. Will have to traineach seperately. I finally let them out both laying here quiet. I have got to go to petco and talk to the trainer. Boo does have that posessive trait but not with me but princess. Princess wanted to play and i told her no and she listened. She avoided him then which is fine with me. They are like a love hate relationship. Oh i let my arm bleed good then rinsed with some bacteria cleaner i was given to use before surgery. Then rinsed again wiped with a disinfectant wipe. Its swelled now but getting less sore. Was conserned about germs in the wound to. Thank you for help im desperate i love them both Last edited by Graneet; 02-03-2015 at 11:52 PM. |

| Just as a stopgap measure, maybe you could keep a whistle to blow if/when they mix it up--startle them into stopping. Or get a squirt gun (even cheap ones shoot up to 3-5') and give 'em a blast or several...again, to surprise them into stopping. Just ideas to keep you out of the thick of it; gotta keep you ok so they're ok!!! |

Never put yourself between the dogs or physically try to break them apart. Make noise to snap them to attention. The noise should be quick and jarring, not a person yelling a long string of words -- which would probably just heighten the dogs' aggressive state. Once you have their attention, give a command like "settle down" or redirect to a constructive activity. I make my boys perform basic tricks for treats and then they go on their way. Sometimes cuddling with one dog will set off the other dog. When you feel tension like that rising, put all the dogs on the floor. Remove your attention. I know it doesn't seem fair to the one who just wanted to cuddle, but it will help keep the peace.

| In my opinion you don't play with aggression. You need to call in a trainer and until you do that I would keep them separated.

YT Addict | Thank you for your ideas im open for all. The loud noise would work. Cause me pulling them apart actually does make it worse. Especially when one is still hanging on to the other. Why i think i got the brunt of it. Neither of them was hurt. I have started the nothing is free this morning. I usually just put their food on the floor to get as they want. Today they had to do tricks for each bite for a while. And boo actually learned a new trick. This is important to me they are my babies dont want either hurt. Hoped getting them fixed it would have helped. Not so. |
