Answer 1

Watch the Dog Whisperer on The National Geographic Channel.
He gives good advice.
I have a Jack Russell Terrier that's only 9 months old and can't get along with other dogs for over aggression.
After a few episodes that were covered on aggression
I tried a few of Cesar's tips and my dog stopped being aggressive towards other dogs.

Exercise is always a good way to start. There are so many things we would need to know about your situation before we would be able to answer your questions. The sex of both dogs, it is well known that two female dogs introduce at different times into the pack will not get along. Sometimes it is over a toy or food that your dog could get aggressive. I would recommend a long walk with both dogs and wear them out, then I would bring the dogs in and watch what it is they get aggressive over and remove it or teach each dog they have to get used to the other having it. One thing that I did for our huskies that seemed to work is break down your dog. Make your dogs submit to each other, How? You must have someone else with you when you try this. Have one dog on the leash and lay on the other dog until it quits squirming around and allow the other dog to smell it without the worry of being bitten possibly in a park or out in the yard no place that one dog feels ownership of, and then release both dogs and do the same with the other dog this way neither can retaliate to the other while you as the leader of their pack is holding each of them down. The reason you need someone with you is to allow the dog that is doing the smelling leash so if something should arise you are not in the middle of a dog battle alone. Keep working with them and slowly things should start to work out for you if not you might have to give up the new dog so that neither dog gets hurt.

Dogs are pack animals, and someone has to be the leader of the pack. Your first dog is letting the new guy know who's in charge. You can stop this behavior by establishing yourself as the leader of the pack. The very first step is taking both dogs to obedience classes, and I'm guessing you haven't done that yet. Start there. In the meantime, keep them separated so one of them doesn't get hurt.

I'm used to having two or three dogs at a time. Right now I have two dogs, and I got the second one when my first dog was about two. The older one was already obedience trained, and then I trained the new one. The dogs recognize me as their leader, and they try very hard to please me. They are very good dogs. One of the dogs is dominant over the other one, but because I'm the "top dog" in the pack, they don't fight each other. Once in a while they have a squabble over a toy or something, but a firm NO from me stops it immediately. This is why you need to train your dogs.

I train my dogs to obey me with hand signals too, and that makes my life so much easier. It also impresses company. The point is, it takes time and effort to have a good dog, but good dogs are happy and bring you a lot of happiness in return.

You need to take both dogs together for a very long walk on neutral ground. For starts, where did you introduce this new dog to the old dog?? Did you do it on the old dogs terratory?? The old dog needs to understand that fighting is inappropriate. If the new dog doesnt back down than the the new dog needs to know tha pack order. Either way, yeah it needs to stop. So take them for a VERY long walk TOGETHER, until they loose interest in eachother. Then when you get back home you walk in the door first, then have the old dog walk in then the other dog, THis is the pack order. If they continue to fight, have the one that starts it lie on his side (probably the old one) and let the new dog just walk around freely. Another thing you can try it, put the old dog on a leach while in the house and let the new one wonder freely. THis makes the old dog less dominant and makes him realize he isnt the tough dog. You can also try professional trianingl

Answer 5

You need to partake in exercises that establish both dogs as part of the pack. There could be various reasons why your dog wants to beat up the new one... possibly they were not introduced properly or the new one received more attention thereby making your old dog jealous.

The best thing you can do is to establish yourself as pack leader. Take them for a walk every morning, a controlled walk where-by they will use up energy and also be working together as a pack.

There is lots of information that you will need in order to keep both your pack dogs running in a happy family. I highly suggest you read up on the following site

www.dogpsychologycenter.com

have you heard of cesar millan? he teaches about dog psychology and what we as humans need to provide for the dog to be a happy pack member.
