How do I stop my dog from hating my other dog?
It’s important to make sure both animals are always safe, so keep them on a leash and at a safe distance from one another. Avoid punishing your dog if they act out, as they will associate any negativity with the other dog’s presence. Instead simply cease praising them and ignore them.
How do I get my dog to be nice to my other dog?
Allow your dog to meet the other, calm and friendly dog. You should approach the other dog from the side with the friendly dog remaining stationary in a sit or calm stand. Try to keep the leash slack and remain calm yourself. Repeat this introduction with a variety of dogs to build positive associations.
Why is my dog fighting my other dog for no reason?
Fighting would most likely arise if both dogs have a high desire for the same resource, if the desire to retain the resource is stronger in the more subordinate dog (especially if he or she gets to the resource first), or if the owner supports the dog that is being challenged.
Why is my dog so aggressive towards other dogs?
Aggression between unfamiliar dogs can be due to fear, poor communication, defensive, possessive behavior over resources (including perhaps family members or other pets) or territorial behavior over territory or owner. Aggression between dogs can result in injury to dogs and/or to the people trying to separate them.
What do you do when two dogs don’t get along?
Most of the time, owners don’t know what to do when two dogs don’t get along at home. It is essential to prevent this by making sure that they first get to know each other in a neutral territory such as the park, before you bring your new tenant home.
How do I Stop my dogs from fighting with each other?

Should I separate my dog from another dog?
If your dog is acting this way toward another canine in the house, separate them at once. More often than not, dogs that have a little time out to simmer down will happily avoid a fight and will be contentedly playing together again in no time at all.
How to introduce two dogs to each other?
This allows the dogs to feel secure in their own space. This way, when the puppy arrives the older dog won’t feel threatened in terms of territory. If the introduction went well on neutral ground, you will need to continue this in the home. As we said, it is even better to start with the two dogs in separate areas.
