[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 243208, member: 1233"] I don't have any idea, not much experience with dogs. But it must have been a hair-raising few minutes, esp with Aubrey around. Would it be a good idea to have a word you could say to Aubrey that means "go to X place and stay there until we come for you"? Just for her safety, I am thinking. So that if the dogs do fight again, or some other situation comes up, you can say "Hot Potato" and she knows to go around whatever is going on and go to her room, or to sit on Nana's bed or whatever? We had to do this with Jess and thank you when Wiz was having violent meltdowns. We were very strict with them following it. We even did trial runs when nothing was going on to train them to do it as 2nd nature. Jess was AWESOME at getting thank you and locking both of them in my bedroom where the phone is. After EVERY incident, real or just training, we praised them lavishly and gave them a small treat. I hope this is a one time thing. Someone will come along soon with more informed advice about the dogs. You might also PM GoneNorth. She has a LOT of experience and info with dogs. Hugs and some Tension Tamer tea to calm your nerves! [/QUOTE]
