I know instinct kicks in and adrenaline can be high during a fight but PLEASE don’t get between dogs who are fighting.

✨Don’t grab their collars ✨ ✨ Don’t scream, hit or kick✨

Additionally do not try to pull a dog off of another dog who is grabbing and holding/biting onto another dog—this can lead to more damage.

So what do you do? Before you find yourself in this situation without the skills & tools, please reach out to a professional to learn about safer ways to break up a dog fight as well as defensive handling skills.

There are some excellent resources:

Blog from K9 of Mine: https://www.k9ofmine.com/how-to-break-up-dog-fight/

If you often are in environments that have off leash dogs or if you live in a multi-dog household—I recommend carrying some safety tools, those can vary largely from items like an umbrella with a face, a slip lead, or spray shield and air horns.
