How can get I get my two 6 month old puppies to stop fighting? General Dog Discussions
Hi there,We have two male unrelated sixth month old puppies. One of them we have had since he was weeks old, he was a rescue who we hand reared who has now flourished into a beautiful dog. The other we acquired when he was roughly 14 weeks old. We never intended on keeping him, but we have the time and space and just fell in love with his adorable ways. They are both very happy and healthy young dogs. Now we used to have 2 female dogs, who got on famously and grew old together. But all these 2 seem to do is fight. I know puppies fight, but this is none stop. They sleep I separate crates and the moment you open the doors they're on each other. Now most of the time the tails are wagging and it seems harmless enough, but sometimes they get rough and one of them cries out which is when we split them up. One of the pups has a slight size advantage because he's a lot more bulky and rounded, whereas the other is slender. I'd hate to see either of them get hurt.My question is, how can we stop them fighting constantly? If we separate them it seems to just get them more riled up for next time. I know fighting is healthy for a puppy, but surely not all the time constantly? We end up having to put them in their crate just so they can have a nap because they tire each other out with the non-stop fighting. Any help and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
