He is a finished show dog (standing at stud) and is working towards becoming a certified search dog, so he has a high level of obedience. mastiff dogs Dog barking silencer. My problem is with an 8-month-old show puppy (out of my stud) and my male who live together. They lived together peacefully for 7 months but in the last month my male has started putting the puppy in his place. My problem is that he is doing it quite forcefully to a point of where I am nervous even having them in the same room because I am concerned about the puppy's well being. mastiff dogs Obedience training for dogs. Every person I have talked to including, behaviorist, breeders, handlers and trainers, all agree that my male is not dog aggressive and what they are doing is completely natural. What I want to know is if there is anything I can do to try and lower the force that my male is using? What I can do to help smooth over the transition of the puppy into adolescence and then adulthood without my male looking upon him as a challenge? Or should I place the show puppy in another home and work with integrating a bitch into the house rather then another male?I would greatly appreciate your input. If you know of anyone in Washington State that I can contact I am more then willing to try anything. mastiff dogs Dog repellent. Obviously I have a working relationship with my 4-year-old and wouldn't trade him for the world, but I really enjoy the puppy also. So please if you can help I would be very appreciative. Sharmin BaumannANSWER:Let me say that all of the people you have talked to are fools - I laugh at a behaviorist giving this kind of advise - but then I laugh at anyone that finds the need to call themselves behaviorists. You have a problem - 2 males will seldom live together without one becoming dominant. This is a serious situation. You either have to keep them separated when they are alone or find a home for the younger one. I do not know the temperament of your older dog - if he can be obedience trained to stop showing dominance under every circumstance then that's what you need to do before he hurts the younger dog. The bottom line is once this starts you already have the problem and your pup has not even come close to maturity yet - so when that happens is when the real dogfights start. Tell your behaviorist that I said he needs to go back to school. QUESTION:From: David Rhonda ChilsonI just read your article on breaking up a dogfight. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard to throw water on the animals to get them to stop. I have a great deal of respect for your opinion. Can you tell me what you think about throwing water? Also what can you do to break a fight if there is only one person to step in?Respectfully, Rhonda ChilsonANSWER:The only thing that is accomplished by throwing water on a serious dogfight is that you cool the dogs off and the fight goes on. If it's not a serious fight it may be effective, but not with 2 bitches or 2 males that are really tearing each other up. It will have NO EFFECT. In regard to breaking up a fight by yourself, the only way I would recommend that a novice try's this is with Pepper Spray. Get close enough that the spray comes in direct contact with the dog's eyes and nose.
