Bevwallis 7 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 You probably need to face the fact that they cannot share living space so need to be kept apart. It is a pain but sometimes it is just the way it is - first and foremost you need to consider their welfare Quote Link to post Share on other sites

poacher3161 1,766 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 2 males and no bitch anywhere in sight of them Sorry i didnt see your post saying they wer only 17 week old imho i would say they are just aserting the pecking order the trouble [bANNED TEXT] they get older the dominant one can some times hold the other one back and it may appear to be the better dog just going on previos exspeiriance good luck with them atvb.

kreet 0 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 i never keep same sex pairs some get on fine others dont its not worth the risk 2 of my whippets are at 6 months and play fight constantly dont hurt each other but keep me up half the night so they are both kenneled with an older dog of the other sex to quieten them down a bit as the older dog wont take there playing mine are out for an hour at 6am out for ten mins just before 5 and then out for 1-2 hours at half 8 every night and still want to play constantly they are full of beans only way to stop it is through splitting em up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cold Ethyl 63 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Make them seperate by crating one in the kennel at nigh or when your not there.Feed one first all the time let one walk before the other pat one 1rst etc and eventually they should become one dominant and one not doesnt always work and being sal xs it might not but worth a try.Either that or muzzles till its sorted.You could try spray collars My males a funny bugger he gets on with male dogs no bother yet when i had the whippet he spent all his time trying to kill it yet it was submissive wasnt trying to fight back and still he kept filling it with holes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
