I have a 8 month old pug puppy and we got him a 8 week old brother. All they want to do is kill each other. As they cost me $1200 each I'd really prefer they get along with each other than fight to the death. How am I going to solve this dilemma without selling a dog, getting rid of a dog or letting one of them rub the other one out?

We have them seperated, the new pup is in a cage. But the second you let him out, that's when the fun begins.

Good question, Tony. First thing you need to do is bring them into a neutral setting. Get them both out of the house and into a park. Have them both on a leash but make sure your not controlling them both, have your wife handle the other. Its not so much a territory issue, but eliminating that area from them getting use to each other helps a bunch. Do this as often as you can so that they can create a playful bond that will carry back to the house and you should be ok.

Second suggestion would be after you have started the out of the house training. Get yourself a spray bottle from the dollar store that also has the stream option. Or if you have a squirt gun (very low power, no SuperSoaker) this will work as well. Fill it with water obviously, and when they start to engage with each other, give them both a squirt to break them up. The main thing we want to do here is introduce a non violent correction that the two puppies will associate with their behavior as being wrong. BUT, also realize they are puppies and be able to recognize the fighting from playing. if the bite each other, it's not always to hurt the other. Good luck and keep us posted.

My best educated guess, being a Steelers fan would be they end up with an overall Pct of .844. With a few questionable IR on the lower list, they should be able to pull up a better Pct by the end of the season.
