How would you break up a fight with a pit mix (yr. old) & a 4 month old cocker spaniel? Dogs Training Discussions
We have a foster pit mix and someone brought their cocker pup to an event. I could see the pit mix was very people friendly but wasn't to sure about dog aggression so I was holding the pup. I had to do something and gave the pup back to it's owner who put it down on the ground next to the pit mix who was next to his food.Next thing I heard was the puppy screaming and the owner of the puppy screaming. I didn't know what to do -- panic stricken. So I grabbed the pit by the collar as another person was trying to pry her mouth open and was bit. How should we have handled this situation? I know there has to be a better way to do than what we did.I don't think I should have used the word fight it was an attack because the puppy was absolutely defenseless.It was not a fight. The pit mix grabbed the little puppy by the neck. I didn't let the puppy do anything. I handed the pup back to the owner and went off to do something.
