How to get my two dogs to stop fighting?
I have two dogs one is a greyhound-lab mix and one is a border collier-lab mix, We've had them both for a decent amount of time but now the greyhound (Female) continuously attacks the border collier (Male) Is there a way to get them too stop?

Is the b itch spayed? How serious is this fighting - drawing blood/injury? Is this real fighting? If she's not spayed, maybe she's coming into season, and telling him she's not ready. If she is spayed, and she needs to be, then all I can say is normally speaking the female will rule, and the male should back down. If this isn't happening (the male backing down) you may have a big problem on your hands, and potentially the need to rehome one of other of them. Quite simply, some dogs prefer not to live with another dog.
Are you leaving them shut indoors for long periods of time - sometimes being frustrated through lack of exercise can cause two dogs to react like this. As a rule, tired dogs settle down when they are at home.

If you mean stop them once they're fighting then leave them at it while you get a leash, (or if theres 2 people both grab one dog) tie one dog to a table, chair, anything thats near by then grab the other dogs hind legs and pull him backwards. once hes let go spin him in a circular motion to stop him biting you, tie them both up in the yard, or if you dont have a yard put them in 2 rooms where they can see but can't get to each other,release them after 15 minutes, this should work. and hopefully they don't do it again, worked with my 2 and they haven't fought since,

are you sure they are not playing? what do you mean by attack?
my two goldens 'attack' each other. It looks like they are tearing their ears off, and whatever meat they can grab ahold of. At times they even bleed. But strangely enough they are having fun, and love each other to pieces.
and by the way one is a male and the other is a female.
