How to Break up a Dog Fight
hi my name is head Frawley in today’s
newsletter we’re going to talk about how
to break up a dog fight a lot of people
don’t understand the how dangerous it is
to break up a dog fight we have a web
page on our website called dog bites dot
HTM where people send us pictures about
how they got bit in ninety five percent
of those photographs came from people
trying to break up a dog fight and most
of them are from people that are trying
to break up a dog fight between their
own dogs now there’s a right and a wrong
way to do this a safe way and a non safe
way the non safe way you have
photographs if you go to this graphic
photographs if you go to this webpage
the right way to break up a dog fight is
with two people I’m going to tell you
how to do it with two people and then
I’m going to tell you how to do it if
you’re alone now obviously for the sake
of our newsletter we have no intention
of starting a dog fight and showing how
to break this dog fight up for the
purposes of the video we’re going to
demonstrate how to do with this with
Rainey when she’s playing tug outside
and we’re going to just demonstrate how
to get this end of the police leash
around the dog the right way to do it
when there’s two people is you have a
big ball it’s loud it’s violent it’s
unnerving so you need to stop you need
to pause you need to gather yourself
each person gets on on one side of the
ball you reach in and you grab the back
legs of a dog when you see that the
other person has the back legs of the
other dog you pull them apart by the
back legs once the dogs are apart you
start to move them in a circle the
reason for moving in a circle is that
you want the dog to have to continue to
go in a circle around you so that they
can’t turn and curl and bite you in the
initial split when you pull them apart
it’s like two people being in a fight
and somebody reaches in just the
adrenaline alone will cause a dog to
turn and snap they don’t know it’s you
they don’t know what it is they’re in
the heat of the moment and they just
turn and bite so when you pull them
apart you
to get them out of that mode in thinking
about something else other than the
dogfight and by moving them in a circle
it takes a split second but they come
out of that mental mode by you keep
moving them in moving them in a circle
as you back away they’re in less and
less of the dogfight mode what has to
happen is one of those people has to
pull their dog into another room into
another dog yard or far enough away so
that they can reach in and get ahold of
the dog either with a leash or something
else so that the dog doesn’t turn and go
back into the fight if you release a dog
too quick he’s going to turn and go
straight back into the fight so it’s
your job to figure out your
circumstances to what you’re going to do
before you release the dog now that’s
how to break up a dogfight if there’s
two people a lot of times people are
involved in a dog fight where they’re
the only one around you can use some of
the same concepts if you’re the only
person we sell these these leashes with
all these buckles and snaps on them
they’re a police leash but quite frankly
we sell a lot of them to people who have
to break up a dog fight when they’re the
only person there the way it works is
you take the leash and you have a big
ball and loud it’s crazy
and you focus and you go in and you take
you take this much of the leash and
we’re going to show it to you on the
screen here behind me and you reach it
around the belly of the dog and you clip
it so it’s right around the loin of the
dog so your dog’s hind legs are here and
the fight is here you’ve got the dog now
by the belly you take you take the pile
and that’s what I call the dog fight you
take the pile you drag it to a tree or
you drag it to a door and you slam this
leash in the door if you can take it to
a tree you can wrap it around a tree
like this so that the dog’s loin is here
the trees here now the pile is anchored
the pile is anchored to one spot if
you’re in the house
and you have the pile you take this
leash and you put it through a door and
you slam the door on it so now the pile
is anchored then you go around to the
other side and you grab that dog by the
back legs and you pull them apart and
you grab that dog and you pull them into
an by the back legs and when you pull
them apart you spin them and you pull
them quickly into another room because
the dogs is tied to here is going to
want to continue this fight so that’s
how you do it either with two people or
with one person
so the dogs were you know simulating a
dogfight here just going to come in and
get rainy by the back legs good girl
good girl
good okay that’s it okay so the video
you just saw showed how if you don’t
turn fast enough you’re going to give
your dog the opportunity to turn it bite
you so when you pull these dogs apart
you need to spin and turn fast now I’m
going to I’m going to say that breaking
up a dog fights a very dangerous thing
to do I tell people it’s like picking a
fight don’t pick a fight you’re going to
lose if you’re a small person if you’re
a small woman and you have two big dogs
fighting may be a situation where you’re
going to have to let them fight it out
because it’s too dangerous for you to
step in and try and pull these dogs
apart it you may get them apart but if
you don’t spin fast enough in certain
circumstances those dogs can turn and
bite you so you need to be careful you
need to think twice before you jump in
and try and break up a dog fight like I
said go to the website that we have on
libre com forward slash dog bites not
HTM you’re going to see a whole lot of
pictures of people who did this wrong so
think long and hard before you go and do
it for those people that have dogs that
are inclined to fight I’ve produced a
video on how to establish pack structure
with your dog and I was and I’ve
produced another video dealing with
dominant aggressive dogs if you have a
problem with your dog’s fighting I would
recommend both of those videos once dogs
have fought once dogs have started the
fight they’re always going to fight so
don’t kid yourself in thinking that
you’re going to train this out of your
dog so if you have any more questions go
to our website we’ve got good articles
on this good videos on it
Oh
