Bandit does n’t care put on a muzzle , but it ’s the only direction to control he ca n’t cause harm .
I love Corgis ; they are my favourite dog , hands down . But they have a duet of shortfalls . They throw like crazy , and they can be aggressive with other andiron .
MyPembroke Welsh Corgi , Nigel , has always been rather benevolent for a Corgi . He never showed any hostility toward other dogs until he was 4 years old , when he was attack by another dog while we were out on a base on balls . After that , his “ aggressiveness button ” was turned on , and he suddenly refused to take even the slightest bit of poop from other dogs . But he never start fights — he just finished them ..
Then , a short more than a twelvemonth ago , my acquaintance Michelle act in with me , bring her Pembroke , Bandit . Banditis the sweetest , cut Corgi in the world . But he has a big problem with other dogs .
At first , he and Nigel were friends . They hung out in the backyard together , bark at passersby and taking sunbaths . But one day , while they were in the house , Nigel growled at Bandit for some reason . After that , nothing was the same ..
Tension began to grow between the two of them , and one twenty-four hour period , Bandit attacked Nigel with the fury of the Spartans . It was a horrific fight , and it took two of us to break it up . Ever since then , Bandit wants to pop Nigel whenever he ascertain him ..
Knowing the relationship between the two dogs can never be repaired , we have taken to maintain them separated . When Nigel is loose in the mansion or the backyard , Bandit is in Michelle ’s way . When Bandit has free reign of the backyard , Nigel is in the living elbow room or in my sleeping room . We process hard to check that the two are never in the same space at the same time ..
But sometimes , error go on ..
The other day , Michelle was in the aliveness room working on her laptop . I had been in my room and did n’t realize Michelle had allow Bandit out of her way to walk around the sign of the zodiac . Nigel was out in the backyard . I innocently wandered through the keep room and opened the back doorway to let Nigel in . As I was opening the door , Michelle yell “ no ! ” , but it was too later . Bandit was at the room access in a heartbeat . He dashed through the possibility and jump on top of Nigel . And the engagement was on ..
It ’s hard to think during a dogfight , and Michelle and I managed to do everything wrong . I pass on down and snap up Bandit by the taking into custody , which was a dumb thing to do , but it had always snapped Bandit out of attack mode in the past . But this time , as I pull Bandit away , the collar slipped off his head teacher . Michelle picked Nigel up to get him away from Bandit while I frantically tried to grab him . But before I could progress to him , he leapt up at Nigel and unknowingly bit Michelle on the leg ..
I eventually seized Bandit and threw him outside , but the damage was done . Michelle was on the verge of tears , and let the cat out of the bag about finding a unexampled home for Bandit . I came up with another solution : Bandit does n’t leave his way without wearing a gag ..
Bandit hates his gag , but he has to wear it from now on when he ’s out of his room . As a back up , I also bought a megaphone to blast a flashy noise in the event that Bandit ’s muzzle amount off should he snipe Nigel . Michelle and I are determined to recover a way to make this living position work , one way or another .
