Fighting Prevention - why dogs fight
If you have ever bought / adopted a second dog, or even just introduced your dog to other unfamiliar dogs, then you probably know first hand, dog confrontations are inevitable, as any pack changes can cause struggle for leadership until a pack hiearchy is re-established. These confrontations must be closely supervised / controlled, or it can turn into snarling, biting, eventually injury to each other. Take charge of your dog before it is too late!! If you have ever witnessed any two beloved pets fighting for leadership, it is one of the most scary, devastating experiences you will probably ever endure, so it is the owners responsibility to prevent leading situations that allow such events to occur.
Preventative action can be taken by owners who understand the body language and facial expressions of their own and other dogs. Please learn to recognize the common signs that lead to aggression or dominance, including:
- Slow and deliberate movements when approaching other dogs
- Stiff body movements
- An enhanced profile, ears erect and the hairs on the back and neck raised
- A lowering of the head and extending of the neck forwards with the tail horizontal or upright
- A direct, hard, unwavering stare
- Pronounced and frequent lifting of the leg
- Urination, growling, snarling, curling of the upper lip, or the lips pulled tightly against the teeth
- Dominance posturing such as mounting the other dog
