why is my dog vicious around violence?

Question

when my dog see people fighting and playing around she gets mad and starts biting people. there is nothing form the past i had her since she was 2 months and she is a westie

Answer 1

Thats normal. Every dog I've ever had has done that. Just stop being so violent.

Answer 2

Your dog senses danger. My dog does stuff like that too.

She may become extremley vicious when one of her "humans" is involved because she feels the need to protect. It is nothing unnatural, most dogs act this way. If she is young, then you need to show her it is okay, like if she begins barking, you lead her away from where people are fighting, and calm her down, don't let her look back toward where they are. When she is calm take her back over there. If she starts to bark turn her around and stand with your back to them for a few seconds and give a slight tug at the leash.

Soon she'll learn.

Answer 3

Violence begets violence. Some dogs are very sensitive to how the people around them are feeling. Others get nervous when the flow is disrupted and will get violent in reaction attempting to make the people stop. Calm the environment down and the animal should return to normal

Cheers!

Answer 4

Dogs are very protective and most of the time have no clue whats going on when people do this, my dog always dose this but she protects the one she knows best.
Your dog is just scared how would you feel if two people didn't tell you anything and just started fighting.....Your dog is trying to break up the fight, Because your dog doesn't know your playing.

Answer 5

My chiweenie who is 14 and blind still gets upset when people yell or play fight...She has since she was a puppy. My other dog could care less. Some dogs are more sensitive, just like some people are more sensitive than others. It probably makes them nervous, and when dogs get nervous they either fight or run away.

Answer 6

When dogs are in fear..some act out by biting. She may be protective, she may get too excited.
