How To Separate Fighting Dogs

What made me laugh is the visual of two dogs fighting and you poking one in the butt with a match....Thats too funny!!

My co workers probably think I'm losing my mind sitting in my office laughing out loud when I'm supposed to be working on contracts

 

LMAO (2times)!!!!

Around here, they use matches turned on and lighters. In fact, I too went through the whole dictionary of stupid ways to separate fighting dogs. I mean, i did not miss one. Burned his a-hole, testicles, under the chin, kicks in the rib, axe kick on the head, a couple of devastating hooks (nobody told him that) and more. I also stuck my index finger inside his a-hole and still nothing. I gave his testicles a squeeze and nada. Then got tired and started pleading (literally) to him to let go of the other dog (much smaller) to avail.

Eventually someone came with a 4x4 and thought of hitting him with it. I told him to give it to me. I gave one smack on the head, nothing. So, I gave him three harder smacks. He let go and gave me the "what the F.." with his tail between his legs just looking at me. Lucky he did not redirect since his leash was tied around my waist making us inseparable. I can laugh about it now but not back then. I was "shook" and felt very bad about the other dog...very bad. I am 10 times more educated now.

That is why I plead to you young people not to be so critical of others.

I hope to never forget my newbie experiences.

 

Yikes! I think I would have drawn the line at that one! :eek:

I have never used a 4x4, but one thing I did find worked on our UKC dogs was a shovel to the head.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS!!!!

One day the dogs tied up & my husband ran out there totally freaking out. We had already learned the HARD WAY that you could not keep 2 male pit bulls housed together, so we put a male & a female together, as we had always heard opposite sex couples won't fight. BIG mistake. We watched them to make sure everything would be OK. But after as few hours of peace & quiet, right before bed the female jumped the male & the fight was on.

Anyway, my husband had never seen dogs fight before & thought they were going to kill each other, so he gave the male dog on top a few good kicks to the ribs. I hollered at him to quit it, as he wasn't going to do anything but bust the dog's gut & kill it.

OK, so what does he do? We had a shovel leaning up against the kennel & he rared back as far as he could & hit the dog right on top of the head w/ the flat of the shovel. It actually made the ringing sound you hear in the cartoon (whaaaaaaang!). Then dog spit out the gyp then stood there & looked at him like WTF did you do that for?? Then my husband led him as gentle as a lamb out of the kennel.

After that if that male was in holds all my husband had to do to get him off a dog was to show him the shovel & he's spit the other dog out & go sit in his dog house.

lol.

It is memories like these that like you said Rocky, keep me too from being too hard on newbs, b/c I know I've done some dumb stuff in my past too.

The frusterating part is when the newbs blow you off like you're some kind of idiot. I didn't have anyone to help me, so I had to learn my lessons the hard way. Now w/ today's day in age newbs don't have to learn by trial & error, they can come to site like this & get all the info they need. But sadly if someone tries to help them, they often treat that person like a moron instead of a person who has already "been there & done that" & they rarely take any of the advice given them.

 

then the next thing you will need to know is how to seperate a dog bitting YOUR ASS!!
lol........

 

I cant believe what I read on this thread...squeeze the balls, finger in A hole ,kick the rips. Thats a joke or? That must be a joke.....To separate game-dogs is not easy and I think there are only 2 possibilities to do that. 1.) 2 man 2 sticks (and I mean not for the A hole) 2.) 2 man waiting for the right moment to act at the same time. If your dog get a hold on a smaller dog it is possiblie to strangle the dog( with the right clutch!) and if he opens his mouth to breath push him backwards. But you have to know how to do it because if you do it wrong you can hurt the dog.

 

oh man you guys are great, I've got tears in my eyes......

now i have a clear idea of what not to do

 

I see people ressurecting old threads here lately, so I thought I'd bring this one back from the dead, as it is both informative and hilarious....enjoy.

 

lol throw water on them lol

 

then you have two soaked, pissed off dogs

 

Hey, thats better then a finger up the:eek:

 

AINT THAT THE TRUTH.LOL

 

That are now more difficult to get a grip on as well!!!
