Need advice. Have you guys ever had one of your dog's attack another one of your dog's. I have a young corgi and a really old westie and the corgi attacked the westie and was biting her neck and I had to pull her off. But I came home from work yesterday to find blood all over the house and the westie hiding in the basement because she got attacked again. Had to bring her to emergency vet. The corgi is with my parents right now. What do I do? Is there a way to train the corgi or should I try and give her to a relative? I have no clue what to do.

Do they have access to food 24/7? The Corgi could be food aggressive and if the Westie is getting to close to the others bowel it could lead to that.

You could possibly train the Corgi but if you're gone a good amount of the day then it's hard to say if it will stick to its training. It might be best to give the dog to someone without dogs. Some dogs just don't do well with other ones.

No they eat at a set time. Yeah I really don't want this to happen again. Fuck.

What about water then? Can you think of anything the Corgi might be territorial about? If not then you could find a dog trainer and ask them if they think training might be able to fix the behavior. You could try keeping them separated in different areas of the house and have one trained to use a potty pad.

If you're trying to not get rid of the dog then I'd suggest trying to assert your dominance as pack leader. If you don't already make both of the dogs, mostly the Corgi, sit before eating and do not let them eat until you say the word "Eat". It will help instill that you provide the food, you are the one to be listened to.

Like a lot of people said already, the younger dog is definitely asserting dominance and it's likely because of it being territorial over something. It could be anything like food, water, even an area of the house. Crate the younger dog when you're not able to supervise both. It'll both protect your westie and give the corgi a new place to consider his own space. Also definitely be strict with your training to show your corgi that you're in charge of doling out any punishments for the pack.

It's something territorial. Keep an eye on them and see when and where the fights start. Other anons have given sound advice on how to handle it.

Specifically for a Corgi, though... I have one as well. They love biting things. Even if they're playing they tend to bite hard and it's a big problem with the needle teeth they have when they're small. You need to play with it and teach it a safe biting pressure. A good way to make it rub off on her is to yelp when she does it too hard. That makes them immediately stop and look at you, and then you say "no."

Once they learn a yelp means no they get better. It took a few weeks with mine but she got it. Still bites a lot but not hard, and if she does our other dog learned to stand up to her.

Corgis are a handfull.

Both of these dogs are your responsibility. Giving the corgi away means you are a failure.

Did you physically punish the corgi when it attacked in your presence? If you didn't then that is the problem. Dog's cannot reason the same way humans can. You can tell him no, but without consequence he doesn't get it.

What I would do is purchase a shock collar and put it on the corgi at the highest setting rated for his weight. Keep the activating remote near you at all times. If the corgi tries to attack you light that fucker up. The corgi will get the picture very quickly. While your in the process of training you need to make sure they are separated during the day when you are not at home. Once the corgi has been appropriately trained you should have no problem with letting them be together while you are away. I'd start slow, maybe leave them together when you get groceries for an hour or so until finally you feel confident leaving them alone for hours.

Don't give up user, if you give away your dog you are a scumbag.

Find several large feral cats to keep them company while you are at work.

Kek, this, they'll band together to stay alive.

He can chill with my corgies and gsd, they will put him in his place haha

>physically punishing your dog

i shiggy diggy

This is probably the most ridiculous advice I've ever heard. Shock collars can be useful for many problems but responded to a dog already so aggressive that it's covered the house in another dog's blood only teaches the dog that dominance belongs to the being who can dole out the most violence. Once OP leaves them alone and the westie sets off the Corgi it's just going to kill it.

Don't listen to this guy OP. he has no idea what he's talking about

>Is there a way to train the corgi
no. if a dog attack once they'll do it again.
thats why dogs and other animals who ate humans are put down.

your only option is to separate them. go the dog to somone else.

that guy is a retard and never raised a dog in his life.

Just like children, sometimes they need an asswhoopin. Not sayin to like smack the shit out of their face or some crazy shit. But asswhoopins work in children and dogs

I have 3 dogs, everyone always comments on how well behaved they are.

People who think "no" is good enough reinforcement for a physical attack should have their dogs taken from them. A dog that wants to cause physical harm doesn't have any restraint impacted onto them because they know all they'll get is a verbal punishment (means diddly.) A mild shock, spank or swat with a paper allows them to understand that unrestrained physical aggression will be met with physical pain.

Same reason why the mouse won't get the cheese if it gets shocked.

Get fucked brainlet.

Keep your penis out of your dog.

I have three dogs. I have had a similar experience to OP (dog didn't draw blood but did attack pretty viciously.) I used the exact same technique I just suggested and I've never had a problem since.

You are delusional borderline mental if you think an aggressive dog responds to verbal commands.

see & You obviously have never had to deal with an aggressive dog.

Get fucked brainlet.

Your foot, it's ass. Make a connection

dogs are retarded animals for retarded people, kill yourself

Stay mad fagbag.

As someone who went to a 3 year school for dog training I can tell you, this behaviour is incredibly difficult to get rid of. I've experienced the same thing with my 2 current dogs, a mother and daughter. In the later years as the mother gets older and older the daughter has become more and more aggressive, there are some tricks to this but when it's at the point that he/she doesn't stop when blood is drawn you almost certainly wont get rid of it without causing some kind of damage on the corgi (like shock collar, which I would never recommend). The first thing to do is to look for triggers, in my case the first trigger was when the mother walked by the daughters food bowl. So first step would he to remove any triggers and keep them separated while you're not home, I've installed a baby gate so they have different parts of the house to be in 24/7 now. I'll probably not respond here but if you have any questions you can hmu on kik, syndicate_hyde ^-^
