How do i stop my staffies fight??? plz help
Hi i would be greatfull if anyone could help me!!
Ive got 2 staffies, 1 is male and the other a bitch. The male is the father and aged 2 years, while the bitch(daughter) is 6 months, Recently in the past 2 weeks they have had 3 fights which are getting more serious every time! Now we are worried that this is getting out of control,i would hate to think that 1 day one will kill the other. Some people have told us as the bitch may be getting near her season she is getting more aggressive as the male has been castrated a few months back, others have told us to egt rid of the bitch, which i would not like to do, but if have to will do just to make sure both have happy lives. would anyone be able to help us out with any advice please, would be very greatfull.
Until this point i must state that the male has not shown any aggression in his years, nor has the bitch even though she only 6 months old, they always used to sleep together and all things that dogs do, The bitch surley knows her place as she lets the male eat first,
Before you ask both are well trained ( well they are all people that see them say).. When they go on walks on or off the leads they never attack or any problams to other dogs,!!! PLEASE HELP!!

Search the internet (google) for a dog behaviorist in your area. If you struggle to find one just ask anyone your find for advice, they should point you to someone in your area.
Your knowledge is limited (as is mine) and there is probably a simple solution to the issue that you aren't aware of. As for rehoming one of the dogs...What The Funicular. You wouldn't give away a child for fighting at school.
I hope you have got the Baskerville type cage muzzles for them?!
If they show any true aggression towards your family, i'd worry, remain very vigilant but not give up!
Spend the money on the behaviorist / psycologist and follow their advice to the letter, you will be happier in yourself in the long run.

1. Lankeela, are you suggesting someone rehome a dog following 2 short paragraphs of advice from completely anonymous posters? I would not dream of rehoming one of mine until every avenue was closed or the risk was just not controllable.
2. 'those types of dogs' what are you on about or are you trolling?

Welsh - what are you on chap? Dogs are social pack animals, how is having 2 staffies in 1 house with chidren being a bad dog owner? Are you suggesting that staffies are dangerous or just inferring that having any uncontrolled dogs in the vicinity of children is dangerous?
You are a scaremongering troll of the highest order
