A fight started in my bedroom one time with my two males. Why? Well my one male was extremely dog aggressive & always picking on the other. I saw this even as a puppy with this dog...;o( He was trained to be total gentlemen at training/shows & trials. But the day of this fight in the bedroom I was home alone again. I took my queen sized bedspread off the bed & threw it over them. They continued to fight under the spread, then into the connected bathroom & into the walk in shower until I finally got the most aggressive male in-between the toilet & wall telling the other to back, back, back out of the bathroom which he did (the good shepherd). I could write a book on my fights back then. Thank heavens I don't deal with that anymore. I have dog-loving dogs now.

Trying to figure out why was useless. Trying to break up their fights was dangerous. I finally got a clue from an old trainer was to throw a blanket over both fighting dogs, which meant carrying two blankets with me to training - not going to happen. Unfortunately, regardless of what Caesar says, some dogs will not stop, so they can't be together. They have to be kept separate - period!
