10 Tips To Help Keep Your Pets Acting Civil To Each Other
from:Put two or more people under the same roof, and tensions occasionally flare up. If two people can't always keep the lid on emotional outbreaks, why should pets be expected to do so? Naturally, your pets will have a spat periodically. After all, they are often the only ones that know what circumstances brought it about. If one animal appears to be in danger from another, breaking up the brawl may be necessary. If your canine house mates get into a squabble, try some of these methods to separate the animals without risking your own life or limbs:
1. Reproductive drives can be a source of fighting, especially among males, so spaying or neutering your dogs will reduce outbreaks as a result of biological urges.
2. Proper introductions and training will go a long way in preventing fights before they start.
3. Water is one of the most effective and most harmless ways to separate two dogs that have locked horns. If the dogs are outside, squirt them with a hose. If indoors, squirt them with a squirt bottle or grab the nearest plastic container and fill it with water to douse the two.
4. Give your dogs their own food dishes, beds, and toys to discourage competition that may cause them to fight.
5. Forming a hierarchy is natural to dogs. To keep your dogs from fighting, respect the hierarchy. Feed the alpha (dominant) dog first and don't give the dogs lower on the hierarchy special attention or favors in order to keep the hierarchy stable.
6. Try grabbing the dogs' collars to pull them apart. If you can't get to the collar without risk of teeth marks in your hands, try another method.
7. Some behaviorists recommend grabbing one dog's legs and lifting them up and away from the other dog. Be careful not to yank or pull so hard as to tear a muscle or injure the dog's hips or legs.
8. Use a pepper spray product that is formulated for dogs. The product will get the two dogs to stop fighting before they injure each other. Caution: Do not spray into the dog's eyes!
9. Try maneuvering the dogs into a doorway and separate them with the door.
10. Lastly, adopting or purchasing a dog known to get along with another species will save you time and energy helping each adjust to the other. A dog exposed to cats and dogs some time in his past is more likely to get along with a newcomer brought into the home, assuming the exposure was a positive one. If you obtained your dog at a shelter, ask the shelter staff if they know anything about his history and whether he came from a home that had both dogs and cats. If you purchase your dog from a breeder, inquire what other kinds of pets the breeder has.
