Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 3 years and 3 months old
My dogs have been separated because they keep fighting but for an hour or two I had them tied up so they can Acknowledge each Other. And now they don't fight, growl at each Other. They acknowledge each Other they even slept close to each Other but they are tied up with a distance, can it be that they are over the phase of fighting ? It's been like this for 3 days now, would it be safe to have them together again? Any tips or ideas? Thank you!!

Gradually increase the amount of time they are physically together as long as there is no aggression. Correct any negative behavior immediately. Consider a pheromone product, such as the Adaptil collar or DAP plug in diffuser, to decrease any anxiety or aggression. Provide additional bowls, toys and blankets to prevent resource protection. If the behavior persists, consider a consultation with a certified veterinary behaviorist.
