Hello,
Me again.... I’ve encountered some issues. I currently have Belka - a five month old (35lb) pitbull/lab mix who was taken early from his litter. I also have an aggressive 6 year old chihuahua (15lbs). At first Belka was very submissive to Charlie but now he’s started to fight back during scuffles. It’s no longer teaching Belka he bites too hard but a fight.
My brother in law visited and he used to do schutzhund training with German shepherds and said that with Bella’s behavior and Charlie’s aggression Charlie would likely end up dead once Belka got bigger.belka, during a fight, goes for Charlie’s neck and collar and just pulls as hard as he can.
Now I’m scared.
I’ve been keeping them separated the last few days (since my brother in laws visit) but I know this won’t curb aggression in either dog .... I need help. I don’t want Belka to kill his brother... I honestly don’t have any idea what to do. During aggression classes with Charlie he doesn’t act out so his trainer is confused and says he’s a good dog.
I just don’t know what to do for either dog....
