Ninja Cat stops a dog fight

The best way to stop a dog fight is to prevent it by training your dog well and keeping it away from overly aggressive dogs. But life isn't always perfect and sometimes fido just wants to take somebody down.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • A phonebook
  • A blanket
  • An airhorn
  • Doggie mace
  • A Ninja Cat
  1. Step 1

    First make a loud noise. If you are inside a good way to do this is to drop something heavy like a phonebook. The sudden noise will hopefully startle the dogs and cause them to separate.

  2. Step 2

    If step 1 fails try throwing a blanket over the dogs' heads. This will confuse them and the may focus on getting out of the blanket rather than fighting.

  3. Step 3

    If you have tried the first two steps to no avail or if you don't have those items on hand, it is good to carry a small airhorn for just such an occasion, especially if your dog gets into a lot of fights. Blast the airhorn near the dogs, but not too close to their ears.

  4. Step 4

    For the owner of a dog who is an inveterate fighter or a tempting victim for other dogs, doggie mace is an option. You should carry this with you when you may encounter other dogs and use it as a last resort. It's just like pepper spray for people and will temporarily and safely blind the dog.

  5. Step 5

    If all else fails, employ the use of a Ninja Cat as pictured above.

Tips & Warnings
  • If you are using doggie mace then try to direct it towards the dog who is being most aggressive. Also avoid spraying any in your own direction or that of the other owner and give some warning that you are about to use it. Best not to turn this into a people fight as well.
  • NEVER step between fighting dogs or try to drag them apart. Even if your dog is sweet as pie and has known you since puppyhood it may blindly bite you in the heat of the moment.
