It is perfectly normal that sometimes your cute and precious ball of fur turns into a raging bull when it sees another ball of fur.

However silly this may sound, they do have their own discrepancies and disagreements and sometimes they may turn into huge and serious fights.

Dogs usually have their own good reasons for fighting and if you figure out what the common causes are, you can prevent the fights from happening.

If your pooch is prone to growling at other dogs and he acts as if he wants to physically attack them, he just might have an underlying anxiety issue.

Confident dogs are generally stable and calm. Dogs who start fights are insecure and see other dogs as threats. The cause is probably a lack of sufficient contact with other dogs and their inability to read the communicative signals and body language.

Older dogs will probably put these young rebels back into their place. After a few fights and clashes, these young fellows will most likely learn their boundaries and how to communicate with other dogs.

Every mom will fight for her pups if they are in danger. Maternal aggression is common when a mother dog is willing to fight to protect her litter from other dogs if she sees them as a threat.

Your dog might also fight when other dogs invade his property or come too close to you as his owner. You’d be surprised how jealous they can get.
