Why cant two male dogs live in peace?

| How old are the 2 dogs??? What are the breeds? Are they nuetered? Have they been to formal training?
Maybe consult a behavourist to come and evaluate their relationship.... all the above may help them to live in harmony...if you want to keep them both. |
| Yes, by all means, consult a behaviourist if you want to keep him.
But, if you do not, PLEASE consider asking a rescue group to help you re-home your dog. This is his best chance at finding his forever home.  |
| some times dogs just do not get along, a doctors in my town had two wonderful huskys litter mates as they got older they would fight over who was to be alpha, he finally gave one to another doc in town, he said neither would give and afraid they would actually kill each other. Even now as they walk by the house for a walk the other just goes nuts. |

I have seven dogs, and 2 are females, 5 are males. All live in harmony. They are in size from a 7 lb minpin, to a 75 pound black lab. But - they are all obedience trained except my husband's female coonhound. They are supervised - the min pin is NEVER left totally alone with the big dogs. If we go outside, he is in his crate. Is is best not to tempt the fates. He looks too much like a red squirrell! 2 of the males are intact, but this is something I would never reccommend this for the average pet owner. Never, never! If you need to rehome one, it is best for the dog to contact the breed rescue in your area. Good luck. |

Couldn't agree more! I have two males too, both neutered and they are doing great. They are both obedient, socialized and supervised 90% of the time - other 10% the 9 months old is in his crate. I also agree with the rest of the group to consult a behaviorist, to me it seems you need to work on the "Leadership Exercise", which includes the "No Free Lunch Policy" - they have to work for food, do obedience before feeding them, giving them a treat or just affection. If there is no leadership in their pack - in your family, one of them will have to step up and this is when you have problems. |
