Rescue dog training
I cannot tell you how many times I have heard to throw water on the animals to get them to stop. rescue dog training Dog-training-police. 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. rescue dog training Bloodhound puppies. 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. rescue dog training Dog-training-police. Give it a good one-second spray and then step back. Make damn sure you are up wind of the spray or you will disable yourself. Unless you have experienced pepper spray you will have a tendency to under estimate how strong it is when it gets into your eyes and nose.

If the methods are good I will post them here:TESTIMONIAL:God bless you, Ed for a great article, and the only practical one I've ever read, on breaking up a GSD (or any strong dog) fight, especially about not getting in the middle. My right arm looks like the picture, with permanent nerve damage and tendon shortening from getting in the middle of a fight with 2 of my own dogs. The dog that grabbed me had his head in a hold and when I broke that hold by prying open the other dog's jaw, the caught dog whipped around and grabbed me, torque savagely, realized immediately it was me and let me go, but the damage was done. There is no pain like a dog bite, I've been frost-bit, birth pains, broken bones, nothing compares. The second thing I was impressed with was your honesty that once the dogs are involved, damage will happen. But you cannot panic, scream or add to the fight frenzy, or it will intensify. Yes, pepper spray works, but in a dominant struggle between strong dogs, you absolutely have to get right in their face. I just recently used it for the first time, as my 18 mo male decided to take on my least dominant adult male. Friends had said all they had to do was give a little spray and their dogs immediately separated and laid down.
