HOW TO BREAK UP A DOG FIGHT

HOW TO BREAK UP A DOG FIGHT

SOME GRAPHIC IMAGERY. DON'T WATCH THE FIRST VIDEO
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE DOG ON DOG VIOLENCE.

One of the most common reasons for dogs ending up at the vet with large wounds is dog fights. Sadly, man's best friend often regards other dogs as enemies, and when you least expect it your dog will be in a fight with a neighbour's dog or your dog will be in a fight with another of your own dogs. What to do? Well....first and foremost, don't do anything foolish. Dogs in a fight often "lose it" and while, under normal circumstances, your dogs may listen to you, when in a fight they often won't. Be very careful otherwise you may get bitten, and if at all possible, don't attempt to separate dogs in a fight by yourself. In many dog fights, the aggressor dog will latch on to the throat of the other dog and won't let go. To save the dog being bitten, you have to get the aggressor to open his mouth and let the other dog go, and you have to stop the dogs from re-engaging once they have been separated. These 2 videos demonstrate how you might break up a dog fight. But above all else remember to think about your safety first.
