What a dogfight I just had -

Actually I can imagine it, I had to convince my 220 pound male Pyrenees, no he's not fat, that I was the boss. My antique Beagle tried to bite Mozart in the wrong place and Mozie Man took it wrong and was going to eat the Beagle.
I feel for you, but at least I didn't have anyone trying to coach me lol!

Good Job. I once had to do that with my Irish Setter in the middle of the sidewalk when he got into a fight with a loose Jack Russell. The dog came at him and started it, once I got it away I had to get my dog to "come back" to me and focus. I'm sure everyone thought I was nuts, but it does the trick to get your point across. I don't think I could take a Dane down on my own though.

 

As interesting as the Dog Whisperer is...sometimes it sounds so foolish. I'm not saying you're foolish...but gosh, I wouldn't want to be the one trying to hold down a Dane in fight mode...and are you SURE it wasn't the terrier instigating? I keep thinking...Dane...fight? I only see them as couch potatoes haha.

Glad you got it broken up and that everyone is ok.

 

Between a Great Dane and a terrier? The instigator HAD to have been the terrier!

 

The terrier for sure I hope it did not injure that poor Dane.

 

while it probably was the terrier...they all think they're danes anyway, haha, my neighbors dane absolutely hates my dog. She will tear into him whenever she gets the chance, and he's extremely submissive to other dogs(though no terrier, he's 75 lbs...) but i think that she would kill him if she had the chance...but when he was a little puppy she loved him! very strange...glad you got them apart and i hope they both learn to put up with each other!
