Re: [PyrNet-L] A Nasty Encounter

Jeanne-
    One of my Pyr's is very dog aggressive to every dog except her sister who 
she lives with. If anyone provokes her, she will attack and it is not pretty. 
It is also hard to tell when this is going to happen because she was debarked 
before we got her and you cannot even hear if she is growling. She'll just 
snap. I have found that when this happens, especially if you have two people 
who want to break up the fight, you can get behind each of the dogs and pull 
them apart by their tails. This confuses them and they don't understand why 
they are being pulled away, but it also protects you from being bitten since 
you are behind them and not in the middle. Hope this helps!
