Hi everyone,
I am starting to have some real issues with Wilbur and Layla fighting. I have searched through the other posts about looking for triggers, preventing the fight, being a strong leader.....I am at a loss. There seems to be no rhyme or reason, there isn't a single aggressor, it can happen in a room with no toys or food (e.g. They are in living room and I step into the kitchen), I just don't know what to do. Wilbur has cuts/scrapes on his muzzle, Layla has a bad scratch way too close to her eye and scabs on her neck...it is awful.
I see the posturing and immediately disagree, I have pinned them both, but sometimes I seem to make it worse?
I have no idea why this is happening. A second afterwards they are cuddling and playing together.
They will be 2 at the end of May, is this a normal phase of figuring themselves out (I hope so).
I can't leave the house without crating them...used to be because they like to get into trouble and chew the rugs etc., but nowadays it is because I am more worried about fights and seriously hurting each other.
Any suggestions? Right now I am back to "0 Days Without A Fight" on the whiteboard.
