Guys I wanted to know based on someone*s experience here in the forum if they have an intact male (Not neutered) who is:
· 22 months or older
· Lives with another male (any breed)
· Both males are intact (Not neutered)
The reason I ask is because I bought two years ago on the same day a male Dogo Argentino and a male Weimaraner. Both dogs have gotten along perfectly for two years, they never had a dispute over anything. Not over food, people, toys, attention, people nothing at all, over the last 2 weeks my male Dogo has started to dominate my other dog and when the Weimaraner does not back down he proceeds to attack him, last time he bit the Weimaraners leg and I had to take him to the vet.
I wanted to know if others have experience the same issue and what they did to overcome it, below are things I have done, I currently do and I will do to solve this problem:
· I walk both dogs twice a day for an hour each time
· I take them both for free training classes once a week that are offered here by the Sao Paulo Kennel club
· I have removed all toys, bones etc. so they do not become possessive over anything
· I keep a close eye on both of them and I do no leave them alone unsupervised
· I started to feed them separately so there are no disputes over food and I feed the Dogo first
· I will hire a personal trainer for the Dogo who is the most intensive one and the one with the Dominating problem
· I will castrate the Weimaraner so that the Dogo does not see him as a challenger anymore (My Dogo is a show dog with titles: Puppy Champion, young Champion, Brazilian Champion and Panamerican Champion so I can*t castrate him)
· 22 months or older
· Lives with another male (any breed)
· Both males are intact (Not neutered)
