Answer 1

First of all..pick up the phone and make an appointment to have them neutered..One of them, or even you, while breaking up the fights, are in danger of being killed..

Your dogs have decided that since here is no other pack leader, that they can rule themselves...In their kingdom, might makes right..But you have to put them back into YOUR kingdom, where you make any descisions about who stays and who goes, and who is boss.

YOU have to take control as pack leader. IMPORTANT If you are a young person, living with parents, get your parents to be with you as you do this..It is best for anyone to do this with another family member if possible.

You can do this quite easily, but it is time consuming and requires Consistency.
First of all..Pick up the food dish...don't ever put it down during this training period.
Your dogs will eat ONLY what you give them from your hand.
Put a leash on each of them..this helps you move them as needed, and also shows them that you can control them..

If they become aggressive while you are feeding them, at the very first sign of aggression, quickly, take the aggressor and put him in the other room, and ignore him while you feed the innocent one..Then, bring out the other (after only a few minutes) and try feeding them again.. every-time any sign of a squabble breaks out, take the offender to the other room for a time-out.
be sure to serve up their normal amount of food before you begin, so that they get a good meal...
Dogs during this traing need fed 2 times per day..so that is why this method is time consuming...but, you are setting the ground rules that will help all the rest of their lives, so it is well worth it!

this normally takes just 2 days or so, but pit bulls may take a bit longer. if there are other family members, get them involved, as they need to be masters as well.

Dogs are even so much happier when they accept their owner as master.

Now that you have their attention, it is a good time to begin basic obedience training.. if you need help with basic obedience, e-mail me.

Answer 2

You could try neuturing but don't expect miracles. I have owned various Pit Bulls over the last 20 years and whenever they would get into some kind of fight we never managed to get them back together successfully. Everytime we tried they would fight again. I had 5 pits that I had to keep in 3 different groups for years. One was a female who seemed to scrap with all the others, another group was a male and female and the 3rd group was 2 females. All of these dogs were house dogs so we played alot of "musical rooms" with them. It was constant moving and shutting doors. One group outside, another group loose in the main part of the house and another in a bedroom. At night it was the family room, and 2 bedrooms. I do wish You luck though.

Most most likely, it has to do with the age of your boxer. He is coming into his teenage years (two human years same roughly 14 puppy years, that you most likely already understand). And, despite the fact that he's constant, he's surely handling the urge to mate, that's inflicting him a pleasant deal of frustration. I am no longer certain precisely why this occurs, and even how to provide an explanation for it very good. But, my pal simply went via this final yr together with his two yr-historical black lab. In his case, the puppy began going after his eleven yr-historical son, which could also be fairly frightening. If I had been you, I could name the vet, and carry your boxer in for an appointment. Your vet can be equipped to let you know precisely what's going on together with your puppy, and methods to comfort the drawback. In the intervening time, I would not go away the boxer and the lab in combination unattended, notably if the lab is not going to defend herself throughout a disagreement. I comprehend it ought to be heartbreaking for you correct now, however I am certain that your vet can be equipped to support you calm your boxer down and repair peace on your loved ones. Good good fortune!!
