Anyone used remote trainers (electric shock collars) to condition 2 pit bulls not to fight?
I'm at my wits end with my 2 neutered female pit bulls. Suddenly, the younger (age 1 and a half) one attacks the older (age 3) one for no reason and a vicious fight ensues. I've tried everything - muzzling, more exercise, recognizing the dominance of the younger dog, asking for advice. The bottom line seems to be "crate and rotate", which is what I have been doing, but I really dislike it even besides the inconvenience. I have an electric fence on my property and that works like magic. My dogs will NOT cross their boundaries even IF they aren't wearing their collars because they've been conditioned to know that if they do, they will get a shock. I'm wondering if I'd have such sucess with remote training collars for the fighting problem. Two collars would cost about $300 to $400, so I'd sure like to hear from others who may have had real-life experience with this issue, especially with this breed, before I put out that much money for nothing.
I wouldnt recommend using a shock collar while they are fighting. It produces a zap and when the dog cries out, the other dog will take it as a sign of weakness.
Try this:
When to dogs start to get into it (like immediately) you have to become the alpha and put it in it's place.
If you are able to get them to stop (not recommended to put your hands in there but a leash or stick works). Put them both on the ground. (On their sides or backs). This is the submissive positions and in the wild, the pack leader will put the dogs on the ground if they get out of line.
Check out Ceaser Milan-that man is a genious. There are episodes that are similar to your situation and you can get some pointers from there.
Good luck and dont forget...you are the pack leader.
