I have raised together two male dogs, they are about 18 mo. old and now every time they are close to each other they fight.

they are beginning adult hood if they are not fixed do so now and your problem should be solved but until then keep them somewhat apart... what type of dogs are theses how large are they ... when you can not get them apart sounds crazy but take your leg and go up the middle of them they will break away or grab each collar and pull straight up all the while firmly and loudly tell them no bad dog..... i am 5'2 and have broken two pits apart this way ... i had 1 female and two males when she went into heat what a nightmare it was one male was in one room and one in another until I had them fixed it is a male dominance thing this will not change until they are fixed in the wild there is always a pack leader and it is always a male....for now you have to be the pack leader... when you separate them tell them bad and do not let them look you in the eye place them in separate crates for twenty minutes let them out and continue this until their A behavior changes or B until they are fixed... once they are fixed their hormones will change and this behavior will cease immediately...good luck

Don't get in between them. Water, a hose on full spray or a glass of water. You might want to try a spray bottle if there in the house but it doesn't give a lot of shock value if there really fighting hard. Maybe a water gun that has a hard heavy flow. They are trying to find there pecking order. You know who's TOP DOG. Some people say a can with pennys. You can give it a try and see which works best for you. Good Luck!

I definitely recommend having them fixed. Other things would be to feed them seperately and do not have food around all the time. Set a feeding schedule. I don't know if they are fighting over food,toys or what but two males that are not fixed will continue to do this until one gives in to being the submissive dog, and depending on the dogs this may take a long time alot of vet bills or even worse.

Same sex aggression is vvery common.
Now that they are reaching sexual maturity depending on the breed your best bet would be to place one of them in another home.
Other than that you are going to have to keep them seperated at all times.
Many males will not tolerate another male dog in their home and often they will fight until on kills the other dog.
If you are going to have two one of each sex is best and have both of them fixed. Very happy pets with a playmate and most times no fights.

Let them fight outside. One has to win or they will keep fighting. If the fight gets too bad, break them up and decide which one you want to keep.

Have them neutered and keep them separated.
