Anyone who can get my dogs apart with vinegar or by lifting up legs i will happily give them my first born child[when it comes].
And ive never ever seen a person get an apbt off with a choke without doing some serious damage to the internals of a dogs neck afterwards.
I hope this doesnt sound too negative , but the only real sure fire way to remove two APBT's from each other is to break them off with a breaking stick and when done the correct way will get them off quicker than any other method availible.
The most important thing about these situations is that its not the first time youu use the stick when it comes crunch time. A tenacious male using a spring pole with all four feet on the ground is the easiest ways to practice using one and when it comes to crunch time you will be confident enough to use one making the whole task a hell of alot easier.
I had a dog that besides when he got tired he wouldnt ever let go of the springpole without a stick used, so he was easy to use and once i showed my ex partner how to use them she was amazed at the ease and felt quite happy to be left with multipule da dogs on her own[they were ALLWAYS seperated but chains break and accidents happen] without the stress of panic and ignorance.
using a breaking stick is easy and the site should have instructions somewhere im thinking so i wont waste time on that[or google].
The scenario i used with my partner was if she was on her own with no help whatsoever which for a petite woman is the worst case scenario.
Allways, Allways have two leashes minimum on standby preferably more as if tether spots are availible two leashes on one dog is preffered.
I would calmly grab both dogs by the collars and walk them to a spot where one can be tethered with one of the leashes, allways tether the dog you feel is stronger, as a woman it will mean the dog you walk away with is the weaker of the two[may only help 10% but better than nothing] tether the dog by the leash to a spot so said dog has minimal movement options, if possible tie off the second leash on a spot where the dog will have little play to move then tether the dog to the spot.
The reasoning for this is if you are alone once you have broken one dog off there is a loose mouth trying to gain hold again while you are busy trying to break the second dog off and with people on their own this can be the part the most damage is inflicted, a hard mouth dog will puncture with every new hold so the less new holds once broken off are the better.
The next part depends on your confidence with your dogs any dog that shows signs of redirection doesnt last long with me before it is pts.
Because of this i am confident with placing my body inbetween the broken off dogs head and the dog still in hold. I have never ever been bitten doing this but the choice is upto the individual person.
once in position between the tethering limiting stronger dogs movement and me blocking his way it is tenX easier to remove the second dog, now simply break the other dog off the tethered dog and without moving your neck hold drag the weaker dog away and tether elswhere preferably out of sight of the other dog.
the dogs will settle remarkably quicker once they are out of eachothers site.
once dogs are seperated and settled you can move forward and check dogs for any cuts or punctures and treat them.
This is what has pretty much been a fail proof method for me and it was taught to me as a yard hand with a yard with over fifteen gamebred dogs it had worked for the person who told me and it also had worked a couple of times with his wife.
Fortunatly, my partner never had to break any scraps up, but knowing what to do and how to do it built her confidence up so much she use to offer to go work the dogs on her own or help me whenever she would visit.
I hope this with the other posts combined will cover most bases for every type of dog and situation , but i had to add mine as they other methods would not work with anydogs ive ever had on my yard or as a yardy elsewhere.
Multipule leads and breaksticks are a must have, and when i have more than two dogs in my care when walking the yard i allways have a leash in my pocket and a stick in the other , no different to leaving the house with keys and wallet!
Hope this helps, and more so i hope you never have to use it!
