How much fighting is too much???? I have a problem with my male Yorkie & my male Shih-Tzu. They just cannot get along. I have tried neutering and that didn't work, I then got a crate for both of them to stay in during the day while we're at work. Of course they do just fine in their crates but as soon as I let them outside they start giving each other the look & start growling and that starts a fight. I love them both very much but this is very frustrating. I get so upset when they start fighting and so do my two young kids. What else can I do? I know rehoming would be an option but I hate to have to do that. They get along perfectly with the other pets they just hate each other. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Pam |
Are you sure they are not play fighting? |
Fighting No this is real fighting. They get locked up fighting & it takes me and my husband to get them apart. I've seen blood from their fighting before, I wish they were just playing. |
I second the "play fighting". I have two guys that can seem like they're really going at it, but they're just playing. |
Are they trained? |
And how long have you had them? Which one did you get first? How old are they? |
Boys I got Petey( Shih-Tzu) in April, he will be 7 months old in September. I got Kasey last year, he will be 1 tomorrow. |
Mm.. I amnot sure. You might be able to type in "fighting dogs" in the search bar. Luckly mine just play fight. I think its a dominence issue. ANd maybe if you let them know that you are alpha dog, that might help. |
I agree let them know your the Alpha and you won't tolerate the fighting. The only bad part is that I heard once they draw blood they won't stop fighting. Hope that's not the case with your two. |
