Comment on Why dogs fight - or what’s with sibling rivalry by Mill

I have two female poms who are sisters from the same litter. One is named Momo and the ohter is named Sneek. Every time I pick up Sneek and touch Momo, Sneek starts growling and barking which makes Momo bark and growl back. This also happend when I go to touch Momo Sneek will run up to her and start growling. It does get to the point where they fight and I separate them. Somethimes they do not fight but instead they will mount each other. I do not know if they are doing this for my attention or from dominence.

Could be a couple of things: lack of early socialization of this dog to non-family dogs, lack of on-going socialization of this dog to non-family dogs.
It could also be a display of territoriality by this dog towards other dogs based on you or whomever is walking the dog.
Best solution is to find a positive reinforcement trainer to help you help your dog with this issue. Do not continue to set the dog up to fail by putting the dog in this situation until you can get help with training.

Hi, I have 3 dogs and they get along really well (2 female and 1 male) but one of the dogs hate other dogs (that she doesnt know) and fights any dog that it meets. We worry when we walk her that she will attack another dog. Why would she do this??

Comment on Walking Your Dog Not A Pleasant Experience? by Jim Burwell

Pam: Try getting your dog on a gentle leader. Greatly reduces pulling and anxiety. Be sure to purchase the gentle leader with the DVD so you can learn how to fit it properly and de-sensitise your dog to it. We use that on our lab Sammy, because without it when my wife tries to walk him, she looks like a tail on a kite. Also, very important, do NOT keep the leash tight when you see another dog, that signals your dog something is wrong AND encourages him to pull in the opposite direction which would be toward the dog. If walking next to another dog overwhelms your dog, when you see the other person walking their dog, take your dog back 10 feet or so, further away from the other dog, put him in a sit and praise for the sit.Gradually reduce the distance. This is desensitising your dog to what triggers the behavior. Good luck. Also if you want more info on dog behavior just mail to: behavior@profollow.com and you’ll get on our automatic email list—great info

I walk my 110 lb lab/newfoundland every day. Sometimes we come across another dog owner walking their large dog. My dog wants to rush them and fight the other dog. Should a get an electronic goat training collar to stop this). I am being drugged and going flying through the air when he decides to take off. The only way I can stop him is to sit down; that way I only get drug one foot. Right now he is on a choke chain collar but it’s not stopping him.

Start helping your dog get “structured” exercise and I would also check the quality of the dog food you are feeding the dog. You can not find quality dog food in the supermarket at Sams or Walmart.
You need to set your dog up to succeed. Right now the dog is being set up to fail. Try and get a positive reinforcement trainer out to help you. Trust me, it’s worht it. Good Luck
