Kennelling Dogs Separately

[Wales1234 5,542]

All mine are separate after a accidental breeding I know my two bitches wouldn't fight but my old bitch eat her food straight away while the young bitch picks at it they would fit over food the old bitch wouldn't certainly kill the younger one she much stronger !! Also after a good night / day hunt bet they glad to have some space and chill out

skycat you make quite a few assumptions about dog owners and body language and all the other shite you like to believe yourself the "jesus" of lurcher ownership, where once has the starter of the thread mentioned why hes separating the dogs? tell me what if the dogs get on sociably brilliant all day but fight at night in the kennel bed ? can you put that down to poor a poor owner and all the other nonsense you spout at times some issues with kennelling are not always black and white

Skycat is a wealth of knowledge. She's been there and done it - for decades.

 

Have you read any of her books? It's quite clear from them that she knows her onions and your post is pretty disrespectful.

I and my family have never kennelled seperately including terriers and lurchers together never had an issue, but understand other peoples opinions and experiences are different. All I know is having had a single dog at times and then added more to the pack the dogs are no doubt much happier and settled in company, but I guess the older dog has always been a good role model in fairness. I should say my dogs know live in he utility room and into the main house during the evenings and it is much easier to mould a pack and maintain it, the more contact you have with a dog if that makes sense. The only 2 points on any form on conflict I have ever seen in my dogs has been over food or beds and offering plenty of space where they sleep when not around is good practice ie choice/ room for bedding down and close management of feeding time is again good practice. I also don't tolerate/ encourage any daft behaviour from pups, which other people seem to think is funny in a pup and I personally think this sets the tone for all dogs learning some boundaries. I don't claim to be an expert but just my experience cheers

Until you've found that dead or dying dog from kennelling together, it's hard to believe that's not the way to go.....

What happens when you just take one dog out does the others cry and bark?

[nothernlite 18,089]

Some do and some don't one of mine never bothered one had a cry for 5 minutes start taking them out separate young and they get use to it

[matt1979 766]

If that question is aimed at me Glc the. I don't take a single dog out always together to be fair. For an old pet bouvier that does occasionally get left behind but she is bothered one bit sure the younger dogs wouldn't e to happy about beig left behind though. Accip I can't image that scenario and hope it never happens bit I will continue to keep them together as I works for me, I should say my family has kept working dogs for generations I can trace dogs back over years all runners or terriers never had a dog lost through fighting maybe we are lucky I don't know but that's just my experiences atb.

No no no Kev told you, the best thing is the Caesar technique...... a Roman candle 8 shot repeater fired directly into the face of the offending dog. But remember you have to hide, jump out then shoot

 

peace

Dogs are sociable pack animals and if your going to split them then at least let them see each other ... If you put a solid wall in between them they will still know that you have taken one out they ain't stupid ........

How do you know they ain't stupid socks? he might keep salukis

Lol its been a while since i adopted a shroom technique. Il be sure to give it a go atvb

[mushroom 13,103]

Another technique that might work is from the book of MET.... The Stephen Lawrence. It involves beating the dog like.... Well a dog but this is a bit of a final step and is usually fatal
