16. How to Break Up a Dog Fight:: 1) Make a loud noise (yell, stomp feet, bangsomething

4) Use Spray Shield (citronella-based spray) if the fight continues for longer than afew seconds
*water? A bowl of water or a water bottle will likely not be enough to stop a dog fight.A hose or a
large bucket of water may be helpful but is not usually available.
*physically intervening can be dangerous and should only be used as a last resort.Pick the dogs
up by the hind legs with their front paws still on the ground to keep them off balance. The dogs
mat turn and snap/bite you.
17. Seperating Dogs after a Dog Fight:: 1) Ideal situation is the leash both dogsand move
them away from one another in seperate crates or rooms.
18. Looking for Injuries after a Dog Fight:: 1) Check dogs for any punctures orother
injuries: is the dog limping? do you see any apparent injury?
*punctures do not always bleed right away, so check them periodically
