During a walk, the dog needs to do all its business, play and communicate with its relatives.
Dog trainers do not recommend depriving your pet of communication with other dogs. But everyone knows that this can lead to conflicts.
Let's find out what to do if your pet gets into a fight that could not be prevented for various reasons.
How to Stop a Dog Fight
Firstly, you should not try to separate fighting dogs with your bare hands or try to pull your pet away by grabbing it by the collar.
In such a situation, both a strange dog and your own pet can bite.
It is necessary to create an obstacle for animals from any large object, scare them with a loud sound (a horn, a whistle, etc.), and, if possible, pour water on them.
Secondly, if the dogs have already grabbed each other, then you need to try to hold the attacking dog by the back of the body and hold it until it lets go of your pet.
You can also use sprays and other means that can repel the aggressor.
There is no guarantee that these tips will help separate fighting pets, but it is better than intervening in the fight yourself.
How to prevent conflict
During a walk, it is recommended to avoid contact with aggressive dogs, and if there is a threat of attack, use any means to scare them off.
Sometimes even an open umbrella can help out, behind which you can hide your pet.
