[@labradoodleandpalz]

If a dog is in a fight, and something suddenly grabs its neck from behind, it will bite it. Don't use your hands for that. Yes if you have a dog scruffed properly (with enough of the neck in your grip that they can't turn and get you, just holding the collar isn't enough) then you should be okay. But I'd only use that as a preventative measure if your in a situation where the dog is calm, but you anticipate that they may be about to enter a situation where they might bite. This is because you need to carefully position your hands to get the right hold, and if the dog is already fighting then that's not going to happen. Not only are you likely to be bit, the dogs may be euthanized for being aggresive despite the fact that you were the one grabbing their neck at the exact moment when they were very tense and afraid. Instead, use a tool to seperate them not your own body parts. Keep a rake close by, and put that between them. Let them bit the rake not you. This also breaks their eye contact w eachother which helps de-escalate. A hose also works very well, airhorns are portable and can startle/distract the dogs enough for you to seperate them. If you are caught without any tools, its preferable to use your leg to seperate them than to lunge in with your hands. The goal is to seperate them as safely as possible and keep them seperated until they cool down.

I got two pitbulls that hate each other they threy to kill each other ive tryed putting pipe in back of mouth to open it up dont work ive picked them both up by back legs and there just upside down locked onto each other and when its just you its hard ive been bitten so many times stiched up broke my wrist from a bite and last fight they had to fight till they couldnt no more and it was so bad but i keep them separate now but how does one person stop a fight

My dogs can’t even see each other with out breaking out yo fight till death

[@LauraDiamondWise]

I wish I had this information a few weeks. I had two fighting pitbulls in my home twice over the course of just a few weeks. The first time my son forgot the number one rule when it comes to fighting dogs: don’t put your hands in between them. Now he has a broken fingertip. What I found most interesting was that once the aggressor discovered she had his hand in her mouth she let go, which gave the other dog the opportunity to attack and that’s when he broke his fingertip. The second fight happened a couple of weeks later, and was worse than the first. I will strike both incidents up to human error. Fortunately, both dogs are okay and my sons hand is healing well.

Stupid people always shouting and screaming and pulling when the dogs are locked on. The pulling when trying to seperate them are causing more harm. The video should be watched by all dog owners.

Laura Molony agreed I can read my two pits like a book!

[@chrisanastaspoulos9936]

Proper socialization and supervised play is key. Once one begins to put more pressure on the other it is important to back the aggressor off. Watching for signs are key. Stiff posture, paused play, white eyes, closed mouth, curled lip, etc. Tail tucked and drawn back ears... the signs are there & ABSOLUTELY NO HUMPING!! I believe in removing the dog putting too much pressure on the other even if it’s momentary. I also do my supervised socials and play “collar-free.” My staff carry stockyard poles with them for this very thing. The slip lead put on as a collar I’m a pinch was a very nice touch! Thanks for that tip!

Can't collar grabbing like this put you at high risk of a redirected bite?

[@NEWYORKBULLYCREW]

J V if you have them by the collar, they won't be able to redirect

[@Acadian.FrenchFry]

If you grab the collar up high and pull up high and keep body/arms away from their mouth and straddle the dog pulling it up off it's front feet. If you grab the collar low and pull back you can get nailed from a redirected bite. This happened to me when I first started working with dogs and tried to pull a Malamute away from a fence fight at a kennel. I pulled low and back and he whipped around and nailed my free hand. Luckily I had rubber gloves on (I was cleaning) and the Malamute wasn't actually attacking me and he quickly responded in submission when he realized he had bit me. I was very lucky because I was a 17 yr old girl and he was a 120 plus Malamute. I also would recommend buying a breaking stick. I had Pit Bulls for 20 yrs and nothing stops a fight faster and easier than also using a break stick.

[@sherryjarecki1701]

One dog I had,when you wound grab her color,when not in a fight, she'd get aggressive.a neighbor just walked in our house.i seen my dog running towards the front door.i turned around & our neighbor had his arms in the air,like he was about to get arreasted,he then said what do I do.i replied your the idiot who just walked in,I don't know what to do,by then my dog had already nipped his pant leg,then his coat sleve,then was behind him,I said if I grab her but her collar,she will become aggressive.so I waited until she moved from behind him then took her by her collar.I garente he never just walked into our house again. I do believe my dog knew this guy was trouble because he was a low life son of a bitch. He wasn't my friend,was my husband's so called freind

Cool trick I didn't know about, but super interesting technique.

[@Sinbadizzy]

Watched your video a couple of weeks ago and knew we would be trying it at some point. Today, we had to use it. It was actually the fastest that we've been able to break up our two bulboxers. No yelling, screaming, hitting. We had them separated less than a minute after it started. We normally do the hind leg pull and end up hitting the dog that won't leg go, and we all feel awful afterwards. I still dread the day that we have to do this solo, but this helped a lot. One dog had a minor cut, which is less than what they normally have.

[@neonlights3977]

Hitting n pulling hind legs is the most retarded thing you could ever do

[@Joshua-gt7pz]

Yelling and screaming 100% escalates. They don't know what our screaming means, so they think it's kill encouragement. You have to be the wise old wizard with massive biceps that just comes up, grabs them, and calmly scolds them like a disappointed dad.

Finally a simple worded easy fully explained account of what to do! Great video, have had problems with both my staffs but luckily it seems to be dying down now, this is a perfect video and is exactly what to do. When my two first had a fight I did none of this and just went into a blind panic of shouting and swearing and actually all I did was join in the fight so to speak, it didn't help one tiny bit. Now if they fight which luckily is far more rare than has been previously, I simply go over and hold their collars but keep them close together, 90% of what you hear is exactly that, just noise and there is no actual harm going on even though it sounds as loud as hell, I will then hold them close together to avoid ripping or pulling that wouldn't occur without me pulling them apart like this and I just wait and listen to the noise and wait for that moment they let go or there is that gap, then immediately turn with one of the dogs so that my back is turned against the other and I am between her and the other. This seems to work every time but obviously I am not sure whether your dogs would stop with you between them but luckily when doing this mine do, I then separate them whilst I get everything ready and take them out for a huge walk together in which they play ball and all kinds of things. When returning they seem happy as hell and I have no problems for ages. I think another great video you need to search out if you are having issues with your dogs fighting one another are prevention videos and looking into the causes for these fights as sometimes it can be something as simple as a certain ball, toy or food bowl or sleeping area. Change them and you can change the fighting ever happening. Also with female dogs you can learn a lot about what happens during their growing up and as they age etc and about how females differ from males in their aggression toward one another but most importantly, WHY. Anyway great video, one of the better ones on here that's for sure!

[@elkapitanlasercatbutinspac8694]

I would just like to make a very serious safety point here. Snap collars or breakaway collars are designed to break away easily in the instance that another dog catches their jaw in the dogs collar. Using a belt buckle style collar is very, very unsafe. I can argue the methods for breaking up the fight and put my own ideas out there but I am not going to say that I know the “best” way. I just have to say this point about the collars because these men are advising you to put your dogs safety at risk. If your dogs fight often, there is even more chance they will catch their jaw in your other dogs collar. I would recommend using breakaway collars only and if you experience frequent dog fights consult a trainer to find the cause and prevent them from happening in the first place. Keep a slip lead near by if you need to get a good grip on your dog but please don’t use unsafe collars as a safety method. 😣

[@youngkeazy2806]

I wish I knew this. Last week my brother asked me to walk his three pitbulls. Two of them together were fine but when the third one came it was total chaos. Two of the dogs broke out of the leash and began fighting to death. Then the little one joined. I literally tried my hardest to break them up but ended up getting attacked by them. One of them got a solid grip on my left arm that left 4 holes in me. But even that was the least of my worries as I still had to figure out how to stop the dogs from killing each other. Eventually someone helped me by putting a blanket on the dogs. Most traumatic experience I’ve had with dogs.

[@briankocheraabcdt4628]

@Darren Harper And when the dog owner of the dog you just killed just hits you with a law suit for killing their dog, what then? Have you actually done this? What did the dog owner then do because you just killed their dog? I don't believe you have any experience handling dogs in any professional capacity.

[@kearstinivory4038]

@Darren Harper What-tf-ever. My dog attacks when random loose dogs make a beeline to us while she’s leashed on our walks. She’s been attacked by a loose German Shepherd that bloodied her eyes, so now she defends herself before they get the chance to hurt her. It’s 100% their piss-poor incompetent owner’s fault. I’m not maiming or killing my dog because they’re pieces of irresponsible shit. Fuck them and their dogs.

[@musicjunkie421]

​@@kearstinivory4038 If a dog is attacking a child then what? A good kick to the dogs throat might save a life.

[@dreadsndogs4406]

This works and it is important to grab them high up at the neck so as not to risk being bitten yourself, I used a similar technique by myself when I still had the individual who started the fights in my pack of German shepherds, though there is something that still needs to be said about fights in packs: if it happens a lot, in different context and if it escalates despite consistent pack walks etc, you should really consider re-homing one of the individuals who usually start the fighting - a dog only choose to fight with pack members if they are living in an environment that is stressful (i.e with individuals that they dislike or don't trust), if they are sick or injured, or if they feel the need to defend resources. While the two former can be addressed through treatment and training, the first one should really be about listening to our dogs; if they really just don't like each other, their instincts might even be a miss match, why insist on keeping them together when it's a danger to them?

[@popcornsutton6267]

A real dogmen can break up a dogfight no problem. Carry a breaking stick. The more experience you have keeping calm and breaking up fights the better you will react when it's time and your dog will be safe. Don't panic, don't over react. Try and prevent any fights from happening in the first place. Good luck everybody and stay safe

I adore the NYBC. God bless you for everything you do to rescue these babies! Especially for educating the public. Pitties are so forgiving regardless of their history. They become whatever their environment teaches them to be. There is no dog who doesn’t deserve to be helped.

[@meganwoehl5277]

My animal behavior classes/training taught us to break up fights from the hips using the wheelbarrow technique. Can you explain why that won't work? Essentially it taught us to tuck our hands into their hip pockets around their legs, give a quick pull back and up until their legs were off the ground and around us like a wheelbarrow and then start walking backwards. The backwards motion with their back legs off the ground supposedly will cause them to release. Also though, they taught that this has to be done in tandem with someone else who is doing the same to the other dog in the fight. It also keeps all parties protected if they try to swing around and direct their aggression to you because you are able to swivel them with their own hips and stay behind them. I can definitely see pros to your method, mainly that you aren't risking deep rips by pulling them apart while they are clamped onto each other. But I also would be very hesitant to get in the front side of a dog fight and especially trying to grab for the neck.

[@troy028]

Well because if the dog is locked on the only thing that going to do is cause more damage to the dogs. The skin and muscle is just going to twist with the dog mouth because the dog not going to let go if it doesn't want to. The dog more likely going to want to stay locked on even more because now it's most vulnerable side is exposed/ the easiest area for it to die from attack.

[@grimsonforce7504]

All dogs have primitive instinct called drive, it can be prey drive, fight drive, etc. When dogs( particular bully breeds/working dogs) are engaged in this drive it's hard to break. This is why police dogs for example can be flung about and thrashed, yes it takes training but alot of it is drive, nerve and solid breeding. For some breeds wheel barrel technique can work but still would advise against it as the dog can redirect from the initial target onto the person holding the dog. This is also called redirected aggression.

[@dawson4099]

report your animal behavior class to the SPCA, there clearly brain dead. This is common sense, one animal locked in on the other and your move is to help the animal pull off a chunk of the other? Jesus, this is why most people cant handle there dogs, they dont know how to handle themselves.

[@GoodNightAutumn8]

Hey internet, please proceed with caution when taking advice like this. The pet industry is terribly unregulated. These guys do great volunteer work and save many lives through their rescue work. However, they are not qualified enough to be providing life or death information to an audience. Some of their advice is fine, especially if you have another person with your and your dog has gear on. But, what happens if you're alone or a collar grab isn't enough / your dog isn't wearing any gear? IF YOU ARE ALONE AND DO NOT HAVE GEAR ON THE DOG OR NEARBY YOU: FIRST, it is important to remain calm. Try to make loud noises to get their attention. If this is just a scuffle, a distraction is just what they need to disengage to check out the distraction. Some methods include: Stomping, clapping, shaking of coins in a jar, whistle, or horn. Do NOT just scream. If you have access to a hose, USE IT. If you are able to QUICKLY (within 3 seconds) dump water on them do it. It is important to remain calm. These are quick, minimally invasive methods to interrupt a loud scuffle between two dogs. If this startle and disengages them, quickly separate them, let each dog shake, and take them for a walk together or leave off on a positive interaction if possible. SECOND, after a few seconds it is clear that they are engaged, detect the aggressor (the one clamped on), and wheel barrel him/her. This is picking up the dog by their hind legs so they are OFF THE FLOOR by at least 1ft+. You need to be quick. DO NOT PULL THE DOG'S LEGS WHILE THE DOG IS CLAMPED ON. The dog will unclamp naturally within a few seconds to nip at you to get their footing. Do NOT lose grip. The moment he/she does, PULL AS HARD AND FAST AS YOU CAN to get that dog in between your legs. It is not likely that the other dog will still engage, but if he/she does, use your legs to create distance and get the other dog away QUICK. Finger up the butt works, too. This is to startle the dog and get them to unclamp. It is gross. It is invasive. It works. Do it if you have to. A few quick notes: 1.DO NOT GET IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TWO DOGS. 2. A collar grab CAN be handy, but it does nothing to MAKE the dog unclamp. SO, it depends on the level of the fight. If there is a dog that is clamped onto another dog, a finger up the butt and wheel barrel motion exist so the dog is forced to UNCLAMP THEIR TEETH FROM THE OTHER DOG. A collar grab does not do that. 3. Like the guys said in the video, you do not want the dogs to part ways in a negative manner. 4. The collars these guys suggest are wildly discouraged in the professional pet industry. Vets, trainers, behaviorists, we all discourage buckle collars. Why? ESPECIALLY if you are in a multi-pet home where the dogs play together rough, these collars can get tangled or stuck in the other dog's jaw. I've seen too many dogs seriously injured or die from this. Two dogs are playing, one dog's jaw gets tangled in the collar, and the collar doesn't break. If you're in a single dog household, or your dogs are older and don't play - the buckle collar is fine. But if your dog is playful, you want your dog to be naked (collar free) or have a breakaway collar on. A collar grab can still work with a break away collar - you will just need to grab either sides of the clips to ensure it doesn't burst open. 5. PREVENTION IS KEY: IF YOU HAVE ONE DOG AND WANT TO GET ANOTHER DOG - MAKE SURE THEY MEET AND GET ALONG BEFOREHAND. When the new dog comes home, have them go on a walk together before entering the home. Same thing if you have 2+ dogs and a new dog is entering the home. You want to make sure everyone gets along. 6. If you live in a multi-pet household and your dogs are fighting, get a Certified Dog Trainer or Behaviorist in ASAP to help you. It is not a normal or healthy household for anyone to have dogs constantly fighting. It is always good speak to your Veterinarian regarding the aggressor's behavior. It may be handy to have HALT spray available in your home until you can get in contact with a professional. Below, I have attached a list of organizations where you can find professional dog training and behavior help: American College of Veterinary Behaviorists (ACVB) www.dacvb.org/ Academy of Veterinary Behavior Technicians (AVBT) avbt.net/ Animal Behavior Society - Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist (CAAB) www.animalbehaviorsociety.org International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC) m.iaabc.org/ Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CPDT, CBCC) www.ccpdt.org/ Karen Pryor Academy (KPA-CTP) karenpryoracademy.com/ The Association of Professional Pet Trainers (APDT) apdt.com/

This is good advice, dog fights are a nasty mess especially if one dog is losing badly. My two dogs had a fight today and the older and smaller dog was taken by the neck and couldnt do anything but cry and stay still, and now the other dog is still acting aggressively towards her (totally out of character) so we couldnt reintroduce them right away. No serious injuries thank goodness, but it's where to go from here. Thanks for the advice

[@bloedjohan7602]

2:22 One question, I know that walking two dogs together in co-existence is a great way of introducting two aggressive dogs to each other, but *why exactly* (like the reasons) do it *directly* after two dogs that already knew each other fought? Does it help with de-escalating? Knowing that everything is ok again? Manage, process and settle the situation/establish peace? again? Also how long is it okay to wait between after the fight and the walk? As long as till both dogs are calm and collected again? Edit: Wrote this before I watched 4:17, but I'd still like to know more reasons and if my guesses are correct. :) Those are genuine questions, I'm already thankful for the info I've got so far!

I will be walking them together after they are healed with muzzles just to try and get them to tolerate each other at least. But yes crate rotation works! They need to see each other daily after the fight.

[@katknott3041]

So while I’m glad you brought up all the don’ts in breaking up a pibble fight, I disagree with the advice of putting the dogs back together after an hour long walk. For me, after a fight, I go back to basics w/ both or all dogs involved. 1) Separate dogs & put them in safe places away from each other. 2) Once safe, go & assess dogs for any injuries. 3) let dogs decompress 4) go back to basics with both or all dogs- structure, leashed walks, training, loss of privileges like free play. 5) slowly reintroduce dogs involved in the fight, in a highly structured and managed environment.

[@fifalabibi6228]

I really like your advice because I have for pit bulls and just the other day my mail and my female got into a fight and my female got hurt really bad and I didn't know really what to do I tried to separate them but I wasn't strong enough so I yelled at them and tell they stopped because I didn't know what else to do now I know what to do by watching this video thank you so much but I got to say I did laugh when you said about sticking the finger in the ass I actually laughed so hard I peed myself I never heard anyone ever say that before to stop a fight this is the first time I'm hearing it LOL

[@evef9034]

I have watched several videos on this topic. YOURS has the most sensible advice! And you explained it easily & demonstrated with 2 dogs. Thanks so much!!

[@Andrei_K1G1K]

Back legs thing works great unless you have a "lock jaw" situation. Different breeds need different approaches. Good call on a walk though for sure.

Any advice for 2 non neutered male dogs fighting- 9mo-32lb frenchie puppy vs 3yo- 65lb pitbull.

[@skeeter7932]

I have been walking them more than an hour everyday and it's not working. The pound completely lied to us and said the dog we adopted was "amazing with other dogs". Now our 13 year old 40lb beagle mix was attacked 4x by an 85lb pitty. She is great with ppl but not dogs. I don't understand why they lied and I think they are huge POS for putting us and our dog in danger. I have tried this and a trainer now I'm having to try to re-home or bring her back to the pound. I'm beyond disgusted with the Bridgeport Animal Control or pound.

[@chrisd8180]

Great advice thank u NY. yea i seen that on another youtube video, were a person said....Oh grab the back legs lol, horrible suggestion, could hurt there legs or u could get bit also, specially with a pitbull, they dont like strange people grabbing from behind almost natural for them to never let a strange person come up behind them. Thats what i have learned in all the years having ApbT and A. Staffordshire T.

[@joeyruiz2710]

I have 3 blue nose pits [ sisters] but now 2 of them just started going at it like Mohammed Ali vs Joe Fraiser. . After watching your video I did 3 things completely WRONG . I pulled them apart and I was yelling but not hitting them . I was able to get them of each other , but I immediately seperated them. Now they can't be by each other without going at it . I do walk them about 1.5 miles each but seperate. Glad I seen your video . Now I know exactly how to approach the situation if it happens again . I do have a Question though . Thoughs on how to ease them back to being best friends ???? I mean it when I say it's automatic attack now when they see each other. I need to keep them seperate or in thier kennels for now it really sucks because they use to be best friends . My wife says I'm the trigger and they are fight each other over me . Appreciate your video and Thank you in advance for any response

[@carinlynchin8255]

I hope his works....she is a mix but holds like a pit and unprovoked, runa after my elder bulldog who cam see or hear her coming .... Only reason she is still here is because she has an incredible emotional attachment to my daughter ...but im at my wits end and rather rehome her bc if this is now at 2...i can only imagine it get worse....i cant trust her around other dogs unless they are properly introduced bc i cant trust her ..its sad

[@bjornrockettansky3077]

It really sucks. I'm glad I saw this video. I've had to break up a big dog fight before. It sucks having to choke out your 225lb great Dane/french mastiff until he calms down. He's SOOO big it's scary when another dog comes into the yard. He is always on a chain but he's busted out of it before. If a fight happens again I hope there's a second person that's not too scared to help me and grab the other dog. It's heartbreaking having a dog with a complex like this. When he flips out it takes ALOT for him to calm down. Tender love doesn't always work but tough love does. Either way he's my big boy and I love him. He's never hurt a person. But he has killed 2 pits that walked up into the yard and started a fight with him. Two separate occasions. But strays and mean dogs don't come in the yard anymore so that's good. No matter how upset my boy gets he will never hurt the kids. He's turned on me before but a big guy like him you kinda have to dominate him when they get like that. Flip him on his back and pin him a bit while rubbing his chest and belly talking nicely to him. Lol he's a tough ass dog for sure lol. And a sweetheart 99% of the time.

[@beastboi78]

I have 4 pits and one mutt 1 alpha mama pit 3 puppy momsters about 9 to 10 months old and 1 second in command mutt he's weighs close to 88 pounds. So yesterday momma girl was going over to 2 of the puppies cuz they were fighting she tells em to stop and the girl puppy i have 2 boys 1 girl she turns right as momma's coming and bites her right on her eyebrow!!! It looked like she got her in the eye so i was in a panic this my main dog i grabbed the puppy by her jaws and i pried it open to save my poor baby's eye luckily it was just her eyebrow but it's been about a day ive had Roxanne the puppy in lockup cuz i legit hace no idea what to do. If I'm understanding dog behavior clearly Roxanne challenged momma girl that means next time momma girl sees her it's on sight. At least that's what I would do. Next time a fight happens imma try that walk technique see if it works ill update it once i do it.

[@stevenlee7992]

A rottweiler attacked my border collie last year whilst walking over my local beach with my 7yr old daughter. The 3 scumbag owners laughed watching their dog chewing my collies jaw off bleeding to death. My hand was ripped to shreds prying his jaws open. As a last resort with extreme pressure I forced both my thumbs into the rottweilers eye sockets and gouged both eyes completely out then snapped his front legs apart and he died instantly. The 3 owners stood there in horror drinking cans of beer. My 11yr old Border Collie needed emergency life saving surgery costing £10.000. My hand suffered nerve damage and needed a skin graft. True Story.

@newyorkbullycrew Is muzzling the dogs and then walking them an option? We just got a puppy and our 2 female dogs age 5 have resource guarded once a year for the past few years... this week they got into it over a bone that got left out (my fault) and then last night one got into the others personal space and I broke it up before it started. I love the idea of a walk, I just have such anxiety after a fight. Thanks so much!

[@justincaldero5174]

Here after witnessing a younger pitbull absolutely rip a older family pitbull to shreds in front of them :/ I was definitely not gonna break it up but u did call 911 as fast as I could.

[@briankocheraabcdt4628]

Ok, great if you are home. What if you are out on a walk and a stray dog attacks? What about if you are in a dog park, and other owners take inappropriate action? I have seen a video that advises picking the dog up just by the collar and twisting it causing the dog to pass out? I am a dog trainer and have volunteered in animal rescue for over 12 years. I am always open to learn new techniques.

[@cheyennecook6712]

I am a mother with two dobermans for protection for my children and me, we also have a bulldog , They got in a fight today and I’m here to try to find help cause it’s never happened before and I could not get my dogs to let go of each other , I am alone and had no one to help me. Every time I got one to let go the other wouldn’t . What can I do ? I don’t want to have to keep them separated from one another . But this was one of the scariest things of my life , my children were all in here and my baby in her swing and they are wonderful dogs and great with my children but this happened out of no where, there were no treats out the toys were up, they were laying underneath my dining table together and it just happened. Energy wasn’t high, Sorry to write so much but I’m looking for help so it doesn’t happen again or if it does maybe I can have more insight. Both dogs have vigorous training but when this happened I couldn’t handle both of them on my own, I didn’t have the hands and was not strong enough ,They wouldn’t listen to my commands I literally thought for a second my children’s dog might die . She is pretty beat up and it happened this morning but my vet took care of her . They are both 3 years old the dobermans any way, and my bulldog is a year , it has never happened before . I’m sorry I’m just still rattled and at a loss. What I don’t get is my Dobermans are the ones who have training and are great But they teamed up on my children’s bulldog . I got them to finally let go of her but I did get bit. But it’s ok , my children are all ok and my dogs. But I have never had them do this before . I have been with dogs all my life but this happened and I couldn’t neutralize the situation, so I’m curious on if you could please give any insight ? I know your video was posted 4 years ago and I’m sorry, but I’m searching KZbin for some advice .

[@John-cm9eu]

This video seems to assumes it's 2 of your dogs and you're near your house. I'm pretty sure if you try this with a strange dog attacking your dog and you're out in a field somewhere you're going to get bit. My dog was attacked by a pit bull (He clamped on her neck) the only thing that worked was grabbing the back legs and backing up in a circular motion. My wife took my dog back to the car and I waited for the owner to take her dog away. See this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/nGjbo3-OhrN6Zqs

Maybe you should not have aggressive dogs instead........jackals.

I'm raising to female pits together still are babies will it work on them? Are you saying an hour walk will stop them from fighting again on the same day? They fight off and on from morning till night. They are sister's. I love both of them and I hope I don't have to let one go. I am a first time Pitbull owner.

[@kashacorso166]

Hi guys, my friend has a bully pup (bitch) and she is really naughty biteing every thing including our hands and feet, is this normal ? And how do you correct them, also will they stop after a certain age, id be gratefull for any advice on this thanks guys.

[@havaladeleon7350]

Yea but how about the humans not get bit. Most of the time the dogs fighting are aiming towards the neck. Grabbing the scruff around the neck seems dangerous when the dogs fighting are grabbing the neck too.

[@antzanton4842]

So our dogs had a massive fight,one was seriously i injured. What’s the best way to introduced them again

[@southernstorm2321]

I've broken up fights and the best thing is to hold both of them and they will eventually let go if you are calm and don't pull on them.

[@TJ-1234]

But what if seconds count cause one dog has a death grip on the other ones neck and she’s basically dying how do you stop that?

[@babyblue3353]

I need help with this... only problem is i weigh 130lbs and I have a french mastiff who is as big as me and an English bulldog who is like a rocket who will keep fighting.. I keep them harnessed now as they broke out in a nasty fight and I had to sit on my English bulldog to keep him from going after the mastiff. They go after each other like freight trains! They used to get along good and play. Then one day all hell broke loose which ended in a trip to the vet and stitches. Ever sense that day they have been separate. They even growl at each other through closed doors. I'm going to try the pack walks I hope it helps.They once were best friends now they go full on attack at the sight of each other😔

[@1ildr3w]

i have 5😫🤦🏽‍♂️what do i do they never stop i have to slap the shit out of them alot and they still dont stop i just pour water and grab there skin to there back legs and pull both there separate ways

I have two pits who used to fight all the time thank christ it's been atleast 10 months since the last bog fight I hope I never have to do it again but I'll definitely try this method I'm always getting bit and fucked up

[@mamabear9009]

Mine got into a fight today. I seperated the other dogs that were not involved. 1 dog just refused to let go. Finally got apart and tried the walk thing but the one still wanted to go after the younger male. I have 6 dogs . 3 are males. I've never had this problem. Any suggestions would be helpful. I'm thinking about rehoming the male that started it all.

[@twinflamesrobiandcristie1122]

We introduced a new dog to our home and had to get rid of a good dog we have been watching for months a sweet pit named Brax because out of no where our 6 year old mix breed pit decided instead of play time he would like to attack the new dog who btw is 3 times his size. Of course then it lead to several pack fights and we ended up sending the pit home because although he was innocent in all of it he had the strongest bite and was unintentionally hurt my husband who got his finger broke and bit and of course bit the other dogs. From jumping in like I said not to do. Now we are keeping the 2 who are fighting separated but every chance the get they're into it. I can't wait to apply these methods. Definitely going to subscribe. Thank you.

[@ashleyt2953]

A pitbull attacked my senior dog at the dog park last week. Her owner was completely clueless about how to handle her. She had shown numerous signs of aggression and he didn't listen. I'm scared to take my dogs back to the park because I don't think he will stop bringing his aggressive dog. He is old and out of shape so he is unwilling to take her on a walk. Just leashed her up and stayed in the park like a dumbass.

If you’re alone I feel like this takes to long I work at a daycare for three to four years and Ive had dog fights I will not have time to do this I have dogs coming right left reacting crazy to the dogs who are fighting it gets scary. I will not have time to slip a lead around the dogs next while the other one is locked on the other one and drag the dog to tie it up to something how is this going to be possible in my kind of environment? Yes I do know my body language I do know differences of growls, barks sounds I’ve Learned a lot. But how is this going to help when something actually happens?

[@kris_baby33]

Wow I was making the situation so much worse! I now understand why people get mad and say don’t have pitts if you can’t control them! I had to males and when one would be getting more attention from me then the other it almost always started a fight! I learned real fast not to grab collar to separate because it immediately became a fight! Then once they locked on each other I’m running a screaming like a dumb ass then separated them right after! Walking them together after changed everything and have not had a fight since. When I see the signs I will immediately alert to them and it stops!

[@Irene-gq4jr]

Pure gold. Not easy to separate two fighting dogs on your own, as your own adrenalin is rushing too. My neghbour got bitten trying to get between her dog and ours. And so right not to hit either dog as that will just escalate matters. How about we think more re why dogs fight and how to prevent it in the first place? It's usually humans being clueless that causes it.

[@oeheaven]

Liked your video unfortunately the dogs fighting are not my dogs and they do not wear collars. Also one of them gets hanged up on he is a medium dog and the other dog that starts the fights it’s also medium but that dog has a large dog on his side that comes in and just demolishes the one that gets ganged up on.the dog that gets ganged up on always bites the hand of who ever separates them. Just last week he got my mother in law broke her pinky finger when he bit down. I was told I needed to tell them to get a trainer I did and can not afford. These fights happen about 6 to 9 times a year. Any help would be appreciated I did try the dog spray which worked for a week until the dogs got used to it.

Can you do a video that is more real terror situation, like what would you do if you are a small weaker person walking a Pom, and a stray pitbull runs over and gets a hold of your Pom.. you are obviously not carrying a spare slip lead, the Pitbull has no collar, and your in a relatively open area park, and there is no other people close or who want to help... then what do you do? Don't forget even if you separate the dogs, you still have a crazed Pitbull and a Pom to handle...
