Last night, the dread of my life happened again. You know that I have three dogs at home and one of them is really nasty and jealous. I had witnessed him fight one of the dogs, his brother actually, and it was nasty. I mean, I had a hard time stopping them. In fact, nothing could stop them from fighting. I used water and last night, upon the suggestion of someone I also created a lot of noise, but to no effect. They just had each others' fangs on each other and I felt so helpless. What do you think is the best way to stop this? I do not want this to happen again because it ends up with them bleeding, especially the good one got so bruised and bleeding after the fight. I hope you can come up with a solution.

I think the best way to stop the fightings is to have them spayed as soon as possible. Then contact a dog trainer to teach you how to be in charge in your doggie family. Fighting shouldn't happen in a normal pack of dogs. Consider a crate or separate rooms for the two dogs for the time you're not at home.

I think spaying would be too late for them since they are more than two years old. I really agree with you that I could have done that before this age.

One vet said it spaying to remove aggression is best at a young age. They are already 3 years old.

Why do you think is late? From my knowledge, dogs can be spayed at any age.

If the two dogs are both male, they would surely fight over anything, food, toys and especially b*tches (female dog). The best solution is to give the other one to someone that could take good care of it. Or to caponize them so they don't fight over b*ches anymore. Other things to do is to keep them in a cage or a leash if possible or acceptable to you.

Yes, I agree, it's like if you haven't gotten to your dogs ways, give one to who will do that. Maybe they will be better separated and get them back together in time to see if they're fighting again, I think not. Other solution is to put a special thing on his mouth to keep the jealous one from being aggressive, it helps.

Hello, Basqui and Apresto! I really appreciate your suggestions. I am now putting on leash the aggressive one and will only set him free when their anger has subsided. I hope it does not happen again. Apresto, what thing is that which I have to put in his mouth?

Muffling a dog is not good, how will it eat and drink if his mouth is muffled. It's better if it is taken on a leash to keep him away from the others.
