Need Urgent advice about some home dog on dog aggression

mercredi 18 mars 2015

Hello! I have joined this forum because I am seeking some real advice about what to do stop the dog aggression that is happening between our two dogs. I have a one year old pure-bred pit-bull female who I have raised from 7 weeks – her name is Xena. She is smart, focused, serious and so friendly to every person she encounters that we had to adopt another dog last August to be our guard. The adopted dog’s name is Samson - he is a mixed dog of about 2 years old with obvious German Shepherd lineage who had no training at all when we adopted him. His mild mannered, cuddly and submissive with us, but weary of any strangers. Samson and Xena have always played and wrestled and done some very physical play fighting but it never amounted to much. When she was little, Samson used to let her beat him up but since she has gotten bigger he prefers to hold his own and they would usually take turns dominating during play.However, the last months have been different. What started off as rare altercations mostly involving meat at feeding time became more frequent scuffles triggered by seemingly random events. They have had one very big bad fight that took three adults to separate them and they are often on the verge of a fight and so need constant supervision. It is clear that our little pit-bull is the one that mostly starts the fights. We know about dog aggression tendency’s in pit-bulls and want to curtail this in our dog before it becomes a problem we cannot address. Any real advice on what we should do to get Xena to stop being aggressive would be so welcome. Please feel free to ask follow up questions to get more information.Thank you in advance for helping us get back to a happy home!
