How to stop two dogs from fighting

Fights between two dogs can be caused by issues such as territory, food, play, and social bonding. To avoid dog fights, here are some helpful tips:

1. Establish stable leadership relationships:

   - Dogs like to have a stable home environment with clear rules. The owner needs to strengthen the leadership position as much as possible and clarify the dog's status in the family.

2. Give each dog its own space:

   - Assign some personal items to each dog at home, such as mattresses, toys and food dishes, so that they know which ones are theirs and avoid fighting over them.

3. The host must be present when getting along:

   - When two dogs are together, it is best for the owner to be present. If they are found to be engaging in any hostile behavior, they need to be stopped immediately.

4. Walk independently:

   - Dog walking times should be carried out separately to avoid conflicts in their common territory and activity range and becoming hostile.

5. Establish a formal network:

   - In an otherwise safe environment, carry out formal socialization between dogs, broaden their circle of friends, and gradually improve their relationship.

6. Reward-based training method:

   - Encourage dogs to cooperate with each other, establish some simple signals or instructions that are easy to master and understand, reward dogs for obeying commands, and encourage dogs when they control their emotions.

In general, to avoid fights between dogs, the most important thing is to clarify leadership status and provide them with independent space, help them stabilize their emotions and establish reasonable social relationships, and ultimately allow them to coexist peacefully. If there is large-scale hostility or aggressive behavior between dogs, it is recommended to consult a professional pet behavior consultant or veterinarian.
