Questions & AnswersSo what do I do if I have 2 dogs and they actually get into a fight? How do you handle that situation? We got 2 dogs here who I can't even get to play fight a that the moment but I'm just going to show you so body things that you can do if the dogs are fighting. Ty can you stand, wake up, Ty sand good boy so let's say Ty had the baby on the ground and he was attacking her (Ty stand), wait right here. One thing I can do if I come behind the dog and grab the back of the legs and pull him out of the encounter. One thing that you want to watch out for is if the dog redirects towards you so you want to stand towards the back of the dog. Another thing that you can do if you don't feel confidence getting involve with the fight is if the dogs are having a fight maybe we can use Ursula here you can take a blanket and you can throw the blanket over the dog and then you can pull the dog out of this situation with the blanket covering the dog. A blanket could help a lot, a lot of dogs will shut down right when that blanket comes over them. So if you toss a blanket over it also give you a little bit of protection from getting bitten of the dog decide to turn around and redirect it towards you.
