I got two intact females that when left along or think I'm not looking will posture or "square off" and if I don't intervene with a command it will escalate to a serious fight. they'll work together but won't live together. At present what I do is mind the toys and kennel them when I can't keep a direct eye on them. The older female nearly always picks the fight. would a well timed e collar correction work for a more permanent solution?
Hell I was thinking of wiring them both with E Fence and when they got too close to each other they'd "correct" each other (sarcasm)

Someone else posted a similar problem. They wanted to prevent aggression against other dogs.
Somehow the dog with the collar started to think the “stim” was coming from the other dog. It only made problems worse, because the dog wanted to attack before it was “attacked” by the other dog.
Proper timing and a verbal command from you might be the key to avoid that problem.

Dennis,
I know of two situations and have seen them both personally:
1) The dog with the collar attacked when it was nicked, so the collar brought out aggression in the dog, neither of these dogs had an e-collar used on them before but were conditioned to one prior to the "test" so to speak.
BUT
2) The dogs learned to exist without fighting. These dogs knew what an e-collar was and I think that had something to do with it.
However....the dogs (GSD and a Rott cross) in #1 were much more dominant than the dogs in situation #2 (GSD and a Lab)
The GSD was the issue in #1 and the Lab was the issue in #2
I would venture to say "ya never know until you try" and if you use an e-collar, your dogs may not have an issue.
I am sure there is more opinions out there, but that was my experience. I was not involved in this process, only witnessed it because I was there at the time.

only if the collar had enough juice to shut the dog down . Most will only turn them on. I know my tri tronics will not stop any high intencity situation.
I use my 1700 for aggression and it seems to have enough power to "shut down" the dog but....I have only used this for my dogs aggression against my family and to keep him from picking on my smaller dog. I've never tried it for aggression with another aggressive dog. I wonder if you couldn't start with a low stim and gradually increase the level the closer they got to scrapping. Especially if you coordinated it with a verbal command so they knew the stim was coming from you.
