    Yeah to each is own. 90% of the time it's on a path or just random field where there isnt no one around but the 10% is when my I'm walking to that location haha but here in Colorado ive had nothing but good experiences with other dogs and their owners so that's a plus.

    I wanted train my pit to do hog hunting like they do on YouTube but I don't want him to get laid out haha

    We have a German Shepherd that we picked up as a rescue around 8mo old, then about a year later got a Husky/Shepherd puppy and they've always been best buds. But the Shepherd is certainly more dominant and the Husky/Shepherd is more of a cuddler and beggar. It seems each dog is very different and it will depend on the age they're introduced, the dogs individual demeanor, as well as how good the owner is with training them. For us our shepherd seems to be more of the 'big brother' of the 2 and they get along great.

    my parents had two male dogs and they got along just fine. one was way older and was probably like 6 or 7 when they got the puppy but they never fought and they were best friends.

    The looks of it I should be good especially since it's an age Gap. Cause most are saying they are fine if they were raised together or age Gap. Only problems I would have if they were close to the same age

    Idk haha but I hardly have to use it. All I gotta do is vibrate it or the beep. But I hardly have to use it on my pit mostly my lab cause her fur is so heavy so if I shock her she is barely phased haha so I don't put one on her hardly because my voice is scarier..she was a rescue and was burnt on her tail so shes.super scary and listens well cause of it

    When I researched e collars it can go two ways.

    1.they will learn and you only have to use it one time and every time after that you only have to give them a warning with a vibrate
    2. You use it and they are scarred for life. There's quiet a few people where their dog didn't handle it well and now is messed up in the head cause of it.

    Luckily my dogs learned not to mess around haha

    I only use it for low level stimulation. The levels my dogs are on can’t even be felt really by humans. I don’t use it to shock them. I use it to reinforce behaviors and some correction. It’s more of a stim than shock. If your dogs scarred from it then it was def used abusively lol

    I do it just like you said. Just correction. But all the reviews that read it scarred their dog was off Amazon haha so idk haha but it was cracking me up cause it didn't even phase my lab and she's super scary like the smallest stuff like a flashlight. A box that's oddly shape just so many weird stuff haha but a shock collar not even phase haha

    Just put these guys together in Oct. Had a few attitudes till the pecking ordered got figured out (I'm the pack leader, not the dogs). Now this is what I have, two friends that will play, run, walk and go for rides together like their family. I also have a male Pomeranian and female Sheltie. She's was more of a problem then the males were. She's just gotten to the point now that she'll deal with him a little bit.

    I have a 1 year old Lab and an 8 month old Vizsla. Both are unfixed males and they get along great. They do wrestle with each other and chew on each other a little but its all fun an games. Neither one has injured the other. They stay in an outdoor kennel together while I am at work and are snuggled up together when I get home. They even slept in the same kennel for the first 6 months that I had my Vizsla. I wouldn't worry about it.

    FB_IMG_1524136898033.jpg It will depend on each individual.
    Personally, I'd be more concerned about two females than two males.
    I have two males and a female, and it's my female that is the fighter. She's an insecure dominant female, and bullies my younger male, who is super passive. He doesn't want to fight, and avoids confrontation as much as possible. Unfortunately, my female will keep pushing the issues, which has resulted in a number of scuffles. Before, they were easy to break up, I'd just grab the back legs of the female, and as soon as my male saw I had control of my female, he'd disengage.
    That was not the case a week ago.
    They got into a full fledged fight, and I could not break them up for almost 20 minutes.
    My female was out for blood, and my male was doing what he had to to keep her from doing serious damage to him. I'm lucky he didn't intend her harm, he could have killed her.
    He ended up with the worst of the injuries.
    I have ordered an Educator, and will be working on correcting her behavior.
    I'm never getting another female Malinois after this one. LOL

    Edit to add a photo.
    My two males on the left, (furthest left is the one my female picks fights with), my bitch is on the right.
