How to prevent dog fights at dog park?

The first step to preventing a dog fight is to not put your pup in a situation where a fight can happen. That means no dog parks. Even if your pup is the friendliest dog in the world, other dogs are not, and you can’t rely on other people to always know their dog’s limits and triggers. Another way to prevent dog fights is to learn a little bit about dog behavior and body language. Altering your pet decreases their chances of being in a fight significantly. Getting pets of the same gender should be avoided if possible as well. Learning how to read dog body language is also extremely important, and can be crucial when preventing a fight. A dog will usually give clear warning signs that he is uncomfortable such as a stiff body, pinned back ears, low growls, showing teeth/snarling, and hair standing up on their neck and back. If your pup or the dog they are playing with show any of these signs, calmly remove your dog from the situation immediately.
