100 Pound Dogs Fighting! Advice please..

the leg thing doesn't work well. The dog can turn around and bite you.

When I break up fights, I choke the other dog off. When the dog is hanging up by its collar, it has a hard time turning around to get you..

drenching the in water or throwing a blanket over them also helps

Putting your hands anywhere near the head/mouth of either dog when fighting is an excellent way to lose a finger.

i throw a leash over the dog when they "come up" for air.. then I start choking them out

That probably works if one dog is the clear aggressor and the other one wants nothing to do with it, but in mutual combat that would be a very dangerous thing to do, for oneself and the dog that is incapacitated.

Yeah, I thought the dominant bitch was the aggressor?

It worked for me when I had to pull deacon off my moms dog. I slipped a leash around deacon and choked him off. the other dog was fighting back but not the one attacking

Are dogs that flexible, though? It seems to me that to bite you when the dog is like the picture that I showed, it would have to lift its front legs of the ground and turn in a full u shape to bite the person.

Once females start fighting, there is generally no end. They either need to be kept separated 100% of the time, or one needs a new home. Spaying will do NOTHING! Female/female fights are the WORST as they often want to KILL each other. The reason it just started is they are becoming dogs rather than young puppies.

Yes

males fight for breeding rights, females fight for breathing rights.

the female won't stop.

you can keep them seperated and learn to break up fights, or rehome...

You know deacon.. and I had kennedy too. My sisters where always leaving doors open and letting the dogs get to eachother. I had to learn quickly the best way to break up a fight. For me, looping them and then choking worked best
