Life My dog is a fighter.

How do I cure it? She’s a Catahoula cur.
She’s great with people, very friendly and loving, but get her around another dog and it’s on. This weekend she got in a fight with a buddies blood hound one day and another buddies German short hair the next.
I hate it. I can’t take her anywhere with me if she’s constantly trying to dominate every dog we run across.
So, any helpful hints? How do I tame an aggressive dog without breaking her spirit?

This is gonna sound strange, but it works. Mount your dog. She needs to be dominated so she doesn't think she is the pack leader when you are around. Put her on her back and straddle her and muzzle her face and tell her NO loudly when she does it next, in the presence of the other dog. Or call that Ceasar guy.

once they 'turn on' there aint no rehab. buy a parting stick, learn to handle, and keep your dog outta those situations.

This is as sound advice as i can give you.

Edit- you own a 'catch dog' plain and simple. invest in one of these.

Yep. I had a female Airedale Terrier that was really aggressive with any other female dog. I don't just mean aggressive, but she would have killed other females given a chance, I'm pretty sure. It really bothered me because she was the best dog. I just had to pick and choose the places I could take her and who/what dogs would be there.

Oh believe me, she knows who the alpha male is. I understand the pack mentality and have worked it with the family. She understands and accepts that she’s at the bottom of the pecking order in our house, but that’s not the problem.
I’ve worked with dogs for hunting and retrieving but have never had a dog as aggressive as she is.

I think the only true rehab for that problem is found in the chamber of a Remington 10-.22

Hammock Parties · 11-02-2009, 02:25 PM

Sell her to Michael Vick.

**HemiEd** · 11-02-2009, 02:25 PM

OK, Radar, someone has to say it.

Anti Freeze.

J/K, but you knew that had to come when you started this thread.

I'd recommend not calling its woman a name, lest you get your ass beat.

Interesting, how do I use it?
Sounds like it’s to break their grip once they’re clamped on. I’d like to stop the problem before it gets to that point.

you take the dog by the back of the neck pulling back and insert the stick between the back of the jaw and twist.
might take a few times but it will part a dog. Id let em swap it out for a minute just to burn abit of energy then part em. wost thats gonna happen is theyll need acouple days of pen-g.
(PM me up if you need the dose)
Im telling ya radar, once they turn on to other fur its an impossible task to turn em off.
Ive never ever had one that i could 'turn off' once 'on'.

I was kind of afraid of that.
Maybe if we had her as a puppy we could’ve socialized her more but it’s probably just too late for that now.
