Conflicts among dogs living together are some of the most common problems facing dog owners. Unfortunately, dog owners frequently get conflicting and incorrect information about the causes of these problems and how to address them. The default response for most people is to try to "discipline" the aggressor and teach the dog such behavior isn't acceptable. But unless the underlying motivation for the fights is uncovered, chances are they will continue to happen. Unfortunately, too many times the first, second or even third conflict is rationalized away with the hope that it is the last one. Rarely is that the case. It's not surprising people are confused, as readily available advice ranges from "let the dogs fight it out and settle their differences" to "you must support the alpha dog." Much of this advice has been based on the now discredited "pack theory" of dog social behavior. In this two session webinar, we'll discuss the variety of causes for conflicts among dogs and the best ways to manage and resolve those conflicts.
