QuestionI have a 10 month old husky-German shephard mix and a 10 month old pitt bull. They fight constantly! I know they're just playing, but it's getting really old. Is this normal to fight ALL DAY? It's been happening for about 4 months at least and they haven't let up at all. How can I stop them from destroying my house or each other?
AnswerI guess the longest any of our guests stayed was 2 weeks. They never stopped the whole time. They quickly learn what the other can take, so they do fine. Usually when I see blood, it means somebody lost a puppy tooth. Now, about your house. We use a gate to restrict the hooligans to one room. It has mostly simple, sturdy furniture. The one low window recently was broken. You can call a time out when it gets too intense. It also works much better since we fenced part of the yard. That way, they destroy the grass. You could also try 2 on a tether. The trick is to use one long chain, and a short branch near the end for the second dog. Don't give them enough to get tangled, and keep an eye on things.
