How do I stop my dog from growling and attacking my other two dogs?
borenjay asked:
I have a male beagle mix that is about 2 yrs old (he is a rescue so we are not completely sure), a male cockapoo that is 10 months and a female pug that is 6 months. They are great dogs and we love them. They are truly memebers of the family. However, the cockapoo has started growling and sometimes attacking the other two. When ever they try to get on the bed or couch he growls and if I do not interevene right away he will attack. If they get near his food or toys it is the same reaction. I am not sure why he had just started it. He has never growled or shown aggression towards me or any other human. How do I stop this? He is starting to worry me. Thanks for any help you may be able to give.

Put him to sleep.
Yeah, I know bad joke.
Umm… I think you should get him trained by a professional. Or at least ask a vet. Don’t risk a do-it-yourself approach since it involves aggression. Someone might get hurt. http://www.myislandholiday.com/south-padre-island-vacation-rental.htm

This is fairly normal dog behaviour and is because of the age difference. Just keep interveening until the puppies get a little older. It might be best to seperate them when nobody is around.
They will sort this out on their own eventually. http://www.djthings.com/replacement-fluids-13348

You have to keep intervening and letting the attacker know his behavior is not satisfactory. My little older pom kept attacking my new Akitas. He wouldn’t let up so the big Akita defended himself rather than what he could have done, but it caused some serious damage to my pom. After that, I kept at the two of them constantly letting the pom know, as well as the Akita, their fighting was not going to be tolerated. They got smacked every time. However, when they were good to each other, I made a big deal out of it so they had positive re enforcement as well. It only took a month or so but they worked it out that Mom didn’t care for it and moved on. You just have to keep it up constantly with even the most tiny infraction until they get the message. DO NOT LEAVE THEM ALONE until they figure it out or SOMEONE WILL GET HURT!. Good luck!! DOGS RULE! http://www.bestpricesuits.com/194

our trick for when we get animals is we hold the violent one back and encourage the others to sniff him and kind of just try to get to know him. when he growls, kind of slap him on the nose, not too hard, just so he knows that its wrong, and keep encouraging the others to sniff him and stuff, let them know that what they’re doin is NOT wrong. it may take time minutes or hours at best, weeks at worst. But it has always worked for us, our chihuahua loves our cats and can easily adjust to new people with this technique, good luck http://www.prohomeschool.com/homeschool-preschool.htm

that is the great problem which pet lovers occasionally faces when they more than 1 dog with different breeds .i also faced this problem with my Rottweiler and German shepherded . you can do this : try o love them equally and teach them to not fight with each other . feed them at different places . keep them in one room . don’t love one when other is watching . do not try to punish the aggressive dog it can make him more dangerous . if you think it is getting worse you can give him to your relative or donate or it is also best to consult a good vet . http://www.besthomeorganizers.com/596
