My Puppy Got ATTACKED! | Best Way To Break Up a Dog Fight

hey everybody welcome to the first official episode of the wednesday checkup i have my puppy bear oh is he still in the shot when he's like this i have to tell you a crazy story of something that happened to us just a few days ago at the end of this video i'm going to be giving you tips on how to protect yourself in case a dog attacks you and how to break up a dog fight if your dog gets into a fight with another all right let me get to this story bear will come back a little bit later and say bye to you guys a few days ago i was filming for the youtube channel surprise i'm not going to tell you the video it's going to be out later this month and i decided to take bear downstairs to the dog park bear is there twice a day at least so he knows all the other dogs he plays really well especially with the little uh chihuahuas and frenchies there's even one that looks like uh a wookie he loves it he's in heaven they are in heaven all the owners know bear i get to the dog park i see a young lady come in with a golden retriever first little suspicious sign is her golden retriever pulled her in to the dog park i i was like all right she doesn't have great control of her dog and i watch these things i want to know right away if there's a problem dog coming in so i have to hold there make sure that he doesn't get hurt it still looked friendly tail was wagging and it's a golden retriever at the end of the day you know and right away she tells me uh that her dog doesn't really like big dogs and is kind of afraid of them bear said hi to that dog and it gave him like a little pause and bear just continued along his merry way playing with the other ducks about five minutes go by all of a sudden i see that bear is standing right next to the golden side by side but they're showing all the signs of aggression frozen mouths closed slobbering tails up very rigid pose the other dog owner comes over and sort of shoves her dog away from bear and that triggers the golden snarling and the golden just dives at bear i initially was like okay a dog fight i i've seen these happen i know how to break this up no worries as soon as i run up to control the situation she grabs her her dog's collar it was a big golden retriever it was probably like 95 pounds she ends up falling with the golden retriever because there's a little mound in the park and she falls onto the concrete holding the gold and the lady starts screaming her golden is locked on her forearm her own golden retriever she's screaming it's me it's me crying for help two people from the street jumped the fence of the dog park start punching her dog in the face to get it to let go because it's i mean this is a big dog and it's completely like smashing her forearm finally let's go but as soon as it lets go it gets angry and jumps on her again luckily all the people that were there they were able to control it with the collar pulling on its legs this gnat pulled up her uh sweater and showed me her wounds and she had deep puncture wounds at least three deep puncture wounds what it seemed like and some smaller cuts as well and bleeding from the nose and the head she's like well i don't need to go to the hospital for this and i'm like you really need to see a doctor you don't know if you have an infection you don't know if you're gonna continue bleeding you need probably stitches and antibiotics my adrenaline at that point was just through the roof i've seen dogs get into fights many times it just happens you know dogs are animals you have to correct them sometimes and i've even seen dogs accidentally by humans when humans would put their hands in the middle of a dog fight but i've never seen a dog attack another dog who first of all wasn't being violent and then when separated go after a human but not just any human its own human if that dog went for her neck and bit through her jugular vein or carotid artery she could have bled out and died here's what to do if your dog gets into a dog fight first please whatever you do don't stick your hands fingers arms legs in between two dogs that are fighting you're just asking to get bit if you have two dogs that know each other and they're sort of fighting at home a very simple thing to do is throw a blanket over them that would usually make them disperse if you're in a situation where you want to say no and be firm and yell at the dog i wouldn't really recommend that loud voices can actually get the dogs even angrier and make them want to go at each other more think about like a boxer inside a boxing ring they don't hear people chanting they're just in the zone but on the off chance if you have like something like an air horn that makes a really loud high pitch noise it can be loud enough to disperse the fight now the most effective way to separate two dogs are that are fighting requires two people one on either side behind the dogs you want to pick up the hind legs and do something known as a wheelbarrow technique as soon as you lift up the hind legs generally the dogs will want to let go because they don't know what's going on but as soon as you lift up the dogs try and move in a circular fashion as you move in the circular fashion it will give the dog something to do but be careful because the dog will try and kick its legs out you really need to get a solid grip and you don't want to get bitten now what if the dog attacks you first of all do not run whatever you do dogs are very fast and they have a natural prey drive that makes them want to chase stand up tall stand sideways and not make eye contact so it's not confrontational you do still want to keep an eye on the dog without making eye contact next in a firm voice you want to tell the dog no you just have to say it very passionately confident that you're willing to stand your own ground at the same time you want to make fists and it's not because i want you to get ready to fight the dog but it's because the first things to get bitten and bitten off are fingers if you keep them in fists you're less likely to lose a finger if the dog doesn't care that you try to stand non-confrontationally not make eye contact and gave it a command and it still attacks you at this point you have to do what you have to do punch the dog in the nose hit it in its throat those are its two most sensitive areas if you can kick it in the rib cage that's another thing you can do and if you're completely losing the fight make sure to roll up and protect your sensitive areas your throat and face if you're able to wrestle with the dog and get on top of it and pin it know that the only way a dog can really hurt you is with its mouth by getting on top of the dog and pinning it down you can really neutralize the threat of the dog biting you while you're fighting off this dog you're also yelling for help in hopes that other people hear you and come to your aid if the dog runs away or you're able to get away call for help right away and you need to go see a doctor you need to make sure your vaccinations are up to date it was a rabid dog you may need a series of injections you'll probably need antibiotics you may need sutures to stop the bleeding get help as soon as possible the last thing you want to do is faint because of blood loss and not have anybody help you once your health is taken care of make sure you report the dog bite to the proper authorities the last thing you want is for that dog to bite another person or animal i'm not a animal behavior specialist i do have a lot of experience in raising dogs and understanding when they're about to get angry or do something wrong but even here i was shook i needed to go and look up some information about what to do and refresh my memory so i decided to make this video for you guys whether or not you own a dog i think this is useful information if you have any questions about this story if you have any comments about the story jump in the comment section
