As we all know, the ancestors of dogs are wolves. Although today's dogs have been domesticated a lot, their wildness still exists. Dogs when they become adults, they sometimes conflict or even bite when playing with other dogs. So, when we see dogs fighting, what should we do as owners?

1. Why do dogs fight?

1. Confirm status

When two unfamiliar dogs meet, they will pass various limbs Language to judge the strength of each other, thus establishing a hierarchical position. What we often see is sniffing each other's butts, or turning around each other, standing up tails, etc., in short, to maintain a state of alertness and tension. In the case of this first meeting, the dog fights are mostly to confirm status.

2. Grab resources

Many dogs have food protection. This is because of the nature that they had to fight for food to survive in the wild. So now some dogs are very possessive. As long as it is their own things, no matter what they eat, play, or use, other dogs can't touch them. Once they get close, they will immediately cause a fight.

3. Competing for a partner

If there is the opposite sex in estrus, it will be bad. Many male dogs began to fight for the right to mate in order to compete for mates. This is also the natural law formed by the strong eating the weak in nature.

4. Protecting the owner

Some dogs do not want other dogs to approach their owners because they are protecting their owners. As soon as another dog approaches its owner, it rushes to fight. Such dogs usually do not want their owners to tease other dogs. When the owner teases other dogs, it will become jealous, which is what we call jealous, and will rush to bite.

2. How to avoid dog fights?

1. When two dogs of the same sex are in contact, please pay more attention to observe the dog's behavior and approach each other slowly and in a circle.

2. If the dog is found to be extremely nervous or warned, such as growling and baring, please take the dog away in time to avoid violent incidents.

3. The war is in full swing, what should I do?

When there is a leash:

If the dog is on a leash, the owner can pull the dog away in time , to avoid an escalation of the war.

When there is no traction:

1. Loud fright or splashing water, etc.

A tool that can temporarily distract your dog is the best helper for a truce. For example, a sudden loud noise, a sudden splash of water, or a sudden appearance of food in front of each other will temporarily distract the fighting dogs. When will they stay if they are not separated?

Matters needing attention:

1. Hold the traction rope.

Can control the dog in time. It is the most direct way to stop dogs from fighting in a timely and effective manner.

2. Don't directly intervene with your own body.

Many owners will be overly nervous when they see that their dog is already fighting, and thus use their limbs to intervene in the war, resulting in injury to themselves. When the dog is emotional, it will not distinguish who is the owner or who is the opponent. In the rush, it may accidentally hurt the owner. Therefore, the owner must not try to rashly use his body to intervene in the fight during the fight, but find a tool to make the dog temporarily stop the fight and then separate.

After the dog fights:

1. Check the dog for wounds in time.

2. If there is, remove and clean up the hair, dirt and exudate adhering to the wound.

3. Rinse the wound with normal saline, disinfect the isolation belt around the wound with iodine, and use appropriate drugs to treat the wound, so as to promote the healing of the wound.

4. If it is particularly serious, it is recommended to send it to the pet hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.

Warm reminder:

1. Please hold the leash when you go out in public!

2. Choose a dog with a friendly personality to play with!

3. After the fight, please carefully check whether the dog is injured! Long-haired dogs can only be checked by blowing off the hair with a blower! Avoid the infection of the wound if it is not treated for a long time.
