Re: Dogs fighting....
HI.
Sorry to hear you are having these problems. You should speak to a vet. But certainly hold fire on rehoming for a while. I had two fighting dog, one a staffy x and the other a australian cattle dog x. It is hard, but we got through it and now, although not the best of friends, live very happily together.
What has started these fights off?
Has it happened when humans are not present?
How often are the dogs walked together?
Do they eat together?
How is the heirachy in your house? i.e what is the pecking order? humans at the top, dogs at the top, if so which one?
Was everything ok before the neutering? Are both dogs spayed?
You obviously can't put the other dog in danger. But I don't like the sound a dog being put in a cage and muzzled. Dogs live in the moment. Therefore, after these attacks have happened your dog will not be aware of why she is being punished. Therefore this treatment is cruel. If you have to, get a baby gate and put one in the kitchen.
But please do not treat the other dog like this. This dog is behaving like this for a reason and needs understanding, not thrown in a cage. Dogs are not "nasty" like humans, they just react to a situation. Unitl you know what that situation is then keep her in the kitchen
