I have 3 dogs that are left out of the 9 brothers and sisters that I rescued. One is male and the other female. The girls are fixed. I have had serious problems with them in the past fighting. I mean blood slinging fights that left me frantic. They are half lab, half rottweiler, which means they are between 60-70lbs. and have a mean bite.
I am a average sized woman and these fights seem to always happen when my boyfriend is not around. This has made these fights very challenging for me, even though I feel closely bounded with all 3 of them and feel that they all love and respect me. I have found throughout the past couple of years that my best way to gain control of any of the situations with them is to grab a baking pan and to bang it where it makes a very loud noise and distracts them from whatever they are doing. It seems now that this is not working.
I have heard that it's very bad to separate them after a fight and have done my best to always make sure that I get them back together as soon as possible, but with me being the only one here, and with the pan losing it's power - I feel that I need some type of alternative to ensure that I can keep the 3 siblings all loving each other like they usually do.
Please Help!
