You may complacently believe that he will never bite you, but you are wrong! When they are in the midst of a fight, they will bite whatever is within their reach regardless if it is you or not.

·   If only one of the dogs is the aggressor, never attack the victim dog. The aggressor will continue to attack him, but the victim dog can no longer fight because you immobilize him.

·  Do not run and do nothing. If your dog is involved, it is your primary responsibility to act the right thing.

·     If another person owns the other pooch, do not blame the owner. Instead, help each other to resolve the fight.

·       If a dog is biting on your dog, do not pull your dog away. You are only making a greater damage to your dog by tearing his flesh.
