Why Do Big Dogs Attack Small Dogs?

Let me see which little cutie is surfing the internet!

Reasons why big dogs attack small dogs:

1. To be frightened. The puppy will run around in front of the big dog, and if it scares the big dog or repeatedly annoys the big dog, it will attack the puppy.

2. Territorial awareness is strong. The big dog will show its leadership by baring its teeth and displaying aggressive behavior at the small dog.

3. Emotional transfer. The big dog was kept at home, and had nowhere to vent his energy, so he could only attack the little dog to move around.

4. Physical discomfort. Dogs are usually docile, but they suddenly show aggressiveness for no reason, which may be due to emotional irritability caused by physical discomfort and pain.

How to deal with a big dog attacking a small dog:

1. Human intervention. Dousing them with a bucket of water or hose them down immediately interrupts their fight and makes them both forget about their hostility towards each other.

2. Temporarily separate. Isolate the big dog and the puppy separately, don't let the two dogs touch for the time being, and feed and water the big dog and the puppy separately.

3. Enhance feelings. To increase the time the two dogs spend together, you can accompany them to play with toys and increase their affection.

4. Do ligation. For dominance-dominant fighting behavior between male dogs, the occurrence of this behavior can be slowed down by surgical removal of the testicles.
