My sister has 3 male dogs. None have been neatured. She has a staffie, jack russell and a german shepherd. The only one out of the three that I trust is the german shepherd Karn. Patch the j russell always starts the fights with Rhino staffie. I hate both dogs. Rhino is always caged up as he goes crazy. My dogs mostly get along, Both boys. Yes they don't get along, but they don't do big fights. My female just snaps at the border collie. What should I do. I mean tell them. They won't get rid of them

Tell her that she needs to get them neutered. They might be fighting over your female dog.

I feel sorry for your sisters dogs especailly the staffie. Dogs should not be caged all the time. They should ony ever been in a cage at bedtime and for short periods during the day. You sister is being cruel. She has made this problem and the dogs are the ones paying the price. You can't expect to have three fully males in a house and not have them fight. they all need to be neutered and i bet they are walked enough if any . Dogs need daily walk at least twice a day for about an hour a time for the breeds she has. I'm sorry but i could not just sit and watch if i had a sister who is beening so irresponsible and cruel especailly to the staffie if i couldn't get her to listen to me i wouldn't give it a second thought to report her to the RSPCA that the staffie is caged all the time. They can ask for help so we have to.

well first of all, no dog should be caged up ALL of the time. thats why he goes crazy. he has all of this energy he cant release. your sister HAS to make sure that all of her dogs gets exercise. assuming a staffy is a staffordshire bull terrier (and everything i read says they are), then this website says that staffies do everything full throttle. no dog should be pinned up all the time because hes acting crazy, because thats why he acting crazy! give him a nice walk or run. if the dogs dont have that much energy then they most likely wont fight as much.



the website in the source box has a lot of info on staffies

I have two dogs, both male, not neutered, and they also for the most part get along well. But occasionally they will have fights that include some nasty snarls. What we do in my house is spray them with water and say "no" to them. After 2-5 quick sprays they calm down. They've had less and less fights each time we do this process. You don't necessarily have to get rid of them.

It's really up to your sister isn't it - or do they all live in the same house.



If so then get your parents to deal with it.



You've got to be brave or silly to bring a staffie male and a jack russell male into the same house without knowledge and experience that's for sure.

You need to explain to them how irresponsible they are being. As far as the staffie goes, leaving him in a cage all the time is cruel, and he is going to become aggressive. Which means it will end up being another pit bull splashed across the front page of a newspaper, all due to an irresponsible owner. Try to rationally tell her what is going to happen if she doesn't care for her pets properly.

The link does paintings in case you do away with the suited finished stop on the tip of the URL. This website would not supply any innovations as to the owner, no handle and not even the rustic of foundation. the all of us is hiding at the back of countless nameless e mail addresses. They use one that's registered in (BG) which i think of is belgium, yet that returned a webmail handle that could be registered from everywhere. on the different hand, if this website have been suggested, government could hint the originator and take action, or a minimum of get the positioning taken down. even with the incontrovertible fact that, it may in all probability basically pop up returned someplace else. it relatively is against the regulation, the internet makes tacing harder. ETA: Oh, ok,. attributable to the poster above, I see it relatively is in Serbia so in all probability no longer a rustic the place it relatively is even unlawful. :-( ETA: the terrific WIth canine - quote "canine battling under the right, worrying administration isn't unlawful or unethical." WTF are you on approximately??? canine battling is against the regulation in all modern-day CIVILISED countries, are you from the returned of previous the place crime policies? or basically loopy? there is not any longer something "worrying" approximately pitting 2 animals against one yet another for the sake of sport, whilst those animals could by using nature somewhat avert one yet another than combat!

Well, first neutering them wont be a quick fix at all. I have two male dogs that are constantly fighting. I had them neutered. It cut down on the fighting some, but they still fight out of habit.



There is ALWAYS a reason for fighting. They could be trying to show dominance or trying to win over something (food, people, territory).



So, there are different ways to solve it and help this. You should first show concern to your sister. If she wont listen tell her they could seriously injure one another. (mine did)



Anyways once she is on board to improve their behavior try some of these things:

First, get all 3 neutered like immediately - for many reasons: Lowers their temperament, avoids illnesses, prevent impregnating you're neighbors dog. 3 male dogs will always challenge each other for dominance; there's no easy way to avoid that it's just their nature. But if you can get them leash-trained, run them all together - get them all tired. They will eventually find their spot in the "pecking order." If you drain their energy, they'll be less likely to fight. Not just one time though; consistently. But for sure get them neutered. It might cost a good amount to get all 3 done at once, but you're going to avoid more expensive things down the road. A healthy dog is a cheap dog!

Sugesy neutering them. Generally, that is going to take care of all your problems. However, it is expensive. Try shock collars. These do not hurt the dog, but gets the point across. There are bark collars, or manual ones that come with a remote.



Good luck!

There's no quick fix answer. Neutering isn't the solution either - no guarantee that 2 male terriers will ever get along.

They need training, more exercise and more space.

They need to be neutered, end of story. You cannot keep adult unneutered males together without expecting fights over territory and females.
