Canine rivalry can mean some conflicts between dogs that live in the same house. I mean animals that are part of social groups with a stability and a structure sociability in this group. The social structure is hierarchical type and the dogs fight to determine their place in the hierarchy and access to resources such as food, toys and attention owners. Stable hierarchies in which everyone knows and accepts his rank in the company of part the dogs offers a comfortable feeling and that of affiliation. Domestic conflicts between dogs when there are problems in the social structure are the location where each dog is ready or running. Dogs may hinder mutually initial snapping or growling, but without causing major injury. None the less, conflicts often intensify in the fight against dangerous extended leading to one or two dogs from being injured.

Getting professional advice or
Canine rivalry is potentially dangerous course. Dog or human family members can be seriously affected by fighting. Since the resolution rivalry problems require managing the dogs a bit complex social behavior is often necessary for owners to obtain assistance from a professional animal behaviorist. Certified trained animal behavior to observe, interpret and modify animal behavior.
Why conflict
Conflicts between household dogs develop a variety of reasons. Conflicts can occur if:
• A new animal was introduced for household use.
• An animal is dead or live a longer life in the house.
• A resident animal is reintroduced after an absence.
• A small dog of maturity, where social conflicts, usually between 10 months and 2 years, and challenges established higher-ranking dog.
• The senior age or dog becomes ill and cannot maintain his higher status.
Understanding the status-seeking behavior and social structure
Items for dogs in the hierarchy is determined by the outcome of their interaction. Results of this complex and dynamic will depend on the dogs themselves, regardless of your preferences. Any attempt by you to intervene in May would conflict increased.
How the dominant type can be established:
Dogs usually determine their social position through a series of behaviors that include body postures and sounds that do not cause damage. Examples of this type of behavior is a dog “standing over” one another by placing his feet and neck, the shoulders of one another, mounting, lip licking or rolling on their backs. Some dogs may take toys from other dogs that insist on being petted first or to exercise control over other resources. But because of past experiences, inadequate socialization or genetic predisposition, some dogs may escalate these displays of aggression with a short notice.
Social status and social structure:
Do not try to influence or define the dogs investments by treating them equally or by preventing a senior dog to assert its position on a second dog. Social hierarchy of dogs are dynamic and complex, so even trying to “support the dominant dog” in May against you. Dogs should be allowed to establish control over resources such as toys and preferred accommodation places themselves. Whenever possible, the in interaction with other dogs must be imposed. But most importantly, establish yourself at the top of the hierarchy. Practicing “Nothing in life is free” is a simple way of confrontation, and not to establish leadership by taking ultimate control of all resources, dogs are useful. If your leader is ready, it will help to ensure their dogs places lower in the social structure more peaceful.
Pause a match:
If you need to break a fight, do so by paying the dogs with water or make a loud noise to try to stop them. Never attempt to break a dog fight, seizing dogs by their collars or take a part of you together. Touching dogs while fighting can lead to what is called “redirected aggression”, where a dog can bite you because he thinks you’re a part of the conflict. If you have a fight, you should consult your veterinarian for a reference to a professional animal behaviorist.
What you can sometimes do
• If the dogs involved are intact males or females, Spay or neuter dogs.
• Make sure everyone in your house even the children are on top of the hierarchy by practicing nothing in life is free.
Establish reasonable rules and apply them consistently. This helps all dogs feel more secure and also reinforces your leadership role. With a professional animal behaviorist, encourage and reinforce non-aggressive behavior using conditioning techniques to counter and desensitization. These procedures must be designed and tailored specifically to meet the needs of each case and require professional care at home. Repression will not solve the problem, and can actually worse. You should be aware that if you answer this question incorrectly, you may increase the problem and cause harm to you and your dog.
