Don't: Panic or yell.
Panic will do to a fight what gasoline does to fire - intensify it quickly.
Don't: Grabbing the back of the collar or reaching in with your hands but I have done it.
This is how most people get bit during a dog fight.
The dogs are blinded by the intensity and think you are part of the fight.
Don't: Don't hit, punch, or yell.
It usually makes it worse.

Never get between fighting dogs. Never reach in with your hands to separate fighting dogs. According to internationally acclaimed dog behaviorist, the late Dr. Sophia Yin, it's essential to avoid actions that may cause the dogs to transfer their aggression towards you. Never put your face close to a dog fight. Never grab a dog by the tail and attempt to pull him away from a fight. It's essential to remain calm during a dog fight, and avoid any actions that could lead to serious injury.

Never hit, or kick, dogs that are fighting. This may encourage the dogs to fight harder and/or to re-direct their aggression to you. You should NEVER try to grab the dogs with your hands in an attempt to separate them.
