Closely monitor all interactions. Interrupt posturing before it escalates. Separate at first negative signs.
Supervision
Obedience training increases control. Teach strong “leave it” and “settle” commands for conflict avoidance.
Training
Adequate exercise relieves pent-up energy that may lead to fights. Walk and play with each dog daily.
Exercise
Reduce sources of stress, anxiety and guarding behavior that can instigate fights. Use calming aids.
Stress Relief
Under supervision, gradually reexpose dogs in calm, structured settings. Reward peaceful behavior.
Reconditioning
Use baby gates, pens or crates to separate when unsupervised. Allow safe, gradual interactions.
Barriers
For severe fighting, consult trainers and behaviorists experienced in aggression issues.
