I heard that using a fire extinguisher on my two dogs when they fight stops the fight. Can I do this?
Full Question:
I have two female shepherd-malamute mixes. They were wonderful together (litter-mates) until they hit four years old. The fighting began over-night, and they're now separated permanently.I read an article, however, that suggested using a fire extinguisher on them when they fight. It robs them of oxygen immediately and they can't breathe, so they separate. Thoughts?

It also may kill them. Of course, you could hit them over the head with it - that may work pretty good, (what's a concussion between sisters).
A better solution is to keep them separated, obedience train them with prong collars under heavy distraction and make them wear muzzles if they are ever close together.
