The Safe Way to Stop a Dog Fight: Expert Advice

Dog Fights: How to Safely Intervene A recent video demonstrates a safe method for separating fighting dogs. The video, uploaded by SouthendDogTraining, shows a common scenario where two dogs are engaged in a fight. The presenter, whose expertise is dog training, explains that the most effective way to stop the fight is not to pull the dogs apart, but to twist their collars. This technique, he explains, restricts blood flow and causes the dogs to release their grip. "Twisting those collars is key," he states, "Pulling only makes them hold on tighter." The presenter also suggests always carrying a spare lead, particularly when around other dogs, to create a makeshift slip lead if necessary. This simple yet effective method could save both dogs and their owners from serious injury. The video's popularity suggests a significant need for this information, highlighting the importance of responsible dog ownership and training.
