Taking care of a pet is akin to taking care of a child, there are its ups and downs. For example you try your best to be a good parent but somehow your kid just cant stay out of trouble. The same goes for canine owners, you've taken him to obedience school, socialized him with other canines, and taught him acceptable behavior (and perhaps a few tricks), but somehow it happens he gets into a brawl or worse he attacks someone. As the owner you must be thinking it was the other canine that started it (Isn't it always?) and yours just went along at the heat of the moment, but before you know it, it's all aggressive. Its in these types of situations that you ask yourself What in gods name should I do?!!

In order to bring to a close a brawl or to prevent an attack, you must remember never to yell at them to bring to a standstill, as they might think of the yelling as an encouragement to start brawling even harder. How to stop a dog fight? Look around you, and if there is a water hose nearby, try to spray them down, dont panic and aim the water jet at their legs and feet as they are more responsive to stimuli on their extremities rather than other places. If all these still couldnt discontinue the brawl or attack, try to pull them apart, but there is a high chance of getting bitten. Do not grab them by the collars or the scruffs of their necks in the middle of a brawl or they might whip back and snap at you. It is best to have the other canines owner to be present at times like these, so that each owner can grab their pets tail and lift up their hind legs off the ground as this act will surprise them by throwing them off their balance, making it easier to pull them apart. However, if you are at the scene by yourself, then try to take charge of the aggressor by grabbing his tail and lifting his hind legs and then pulling him away from the other pet.

Another option that you can go for is to get a TASER gun and use it when you need to on canines. A bit extreme, and even a little sadistic, but this is definitely a method worth trying as the TASER blast causes very little pain to them, compared to the pain from injuries due to the vicious clashes. It is also worth noting that the use of a TASER gun has no permanent damage to the attacking pet.

A TASER gun can be used to bring to a close clashes as well as stop dog attack pretty fast and efficiently. An estimated number of 368,245 persons were treated for injuries relating to bites in North America for the year 2001, and these victims were mostly children between the ages of 5 to 9, based on the statistics from the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (CDC). The blast from a TASER gun can send an attacker to the ground with its electrical jolt, and there should be plenty of time to subdue them when he is in the state of shock.

In the year 2003, canine bites accounted for $321.6 million in claims, as stated by the US based Insurance Information Institute while the number of canine deaths for 2005 was 13,498,254 as mentioned in a report by the American Pet Association. The North American Vet Society quoted that the average cost of medical fees for pets involved in clashes was $137.56 for each brawl in the year 2002. Therefore, based on the high amount of fatalities and injuries to both humans and pets it can be said that TASER gun is a great way to keep both humans and pets safe, besides helping in lowering the cost of pet medical bills. A case where TASER gun was used for dog control and to discontinue an attack was published in The Times Herald-Record on April 13th 2006 where a Monroe police officer named Greg Witten used a TASER gun to subdue two aggressive pit bulls on a golf course. The two animals escaped their Still Road home and went on to menace golfers at the Monroe Country Club, who tried to defend themselves in return by using golf clubs. By zapping them two with a TASER gun twice, Witten has managed to force the animals to return home.

Although no pet owner would want to have to TASER their canine it is however always good to be prepared for the unlikely event of a brawl because you'll never know what might provoke yours or another pet into brawling or attacking someone. TASER guns are relatively cheap and thus if you love your pet then purchasing a TASER gun would be a wise investment for their safety.
