There was an incident this evening not involving my dog but some others. I immediately yelled grab them by the back of the legs and pull them apart. This seemed to work but one of the human handlers of the aggressive dog didn’t listen and got bit.
I know dog parks can be a polarizing subject for some owners but just wondering if anyone else has any tips.
FYI - I don’t think either of the dogs got hurt
I don’t know the best way but I’ll say what I did earlier this year when a ~150lb cane corso attacked another person’s a younger dog of the same breed (~120lbs, neither of them were mine). By the time I got over to them they were locked onto each other’s faces and jerking their heads back and forth. The owners were useless in preventing damage – blood was already smeared over the dogs. I applied a short blast of POM pepper spray at the combined dog face area and the combatants suddenly remembered they had better things to do like breathing and being able to see .
They recovered from the spray in a few minutes and the owners left the dog park, one would guess to the respective vets to fix the damage. And hopefully to schedule neutering for their intact males.
I assume I’ll collect downvotes about this approach but it worked and didn’t risk further damaging the animals. No regrets.
