You gonna get a switch or cable. Pop them one good time with that and they'll let go. You gotta hit them on the butt not the face. That horn shyt ain't gonna work. Any assault to the head won't work.
People don't understand bull breeds... that's the problem. Most dogs can't bite into something and breath at the same time, so they think spraying the nose will panic it... short-snout dogs can ALWAYS breathe during an attack (they were literally invented so they could latch onto a bear or bull and keep their jaw clamped shut whilst being torn at by it... the faces are even wrinkled so any blood flows nicely and doesn't interrupt their breathing), all that bullshyt spraying over the nose... any sort of pain... especially anything rough focused on the head... and loud scary noises that ramp up the defense reaction... that's not going to work... if anything, it'll make the dog instinctively clamp down harder.
You have to either DOMINATE your way out... and only THE owner would be able to do this... slide a hand down over the muzzle and show it that you've got control of the situation (unlikely to work if they're PROPERLY clamped AND you might get bit by BOTH dogs)... or you try and surprise it out... but tbh, likelihood is that if a bully clamps, blood is happening.
The point is to raise a dog with that sort of capability so it has no instinct to use them. This owner failed YEARS ago... most likely because they thought all dogs were like all other dogs, just different sizes. Bullies make the BEST pets, but you have to put the work in or you're basically walking around with a suicide vest on a leash.
I own a large pitbull whose parents were fought by their owner. He's calm and laid back like his owner. Now a couple houses down there's some Labrador mutts that act like they're going to kill everyone walking by.





Only way to ensure it is making sure puppies go to the dog park every damn day between 8 weeks and 2 years... but some dogs like people just aren't born socialisers. As owners we have to know our pets, like you do.
combine that with the fact that PITS DON'T TAP
and I don't hold out much hope of avoiding injuries once it gets to this stage between two bullies... like you said, the biter (maybe both of them - didn't see what started it) should've never been in the damn store in the first place.
