Episode notes
Stop Dog Aggression Immediately
- Address dog-to-dog aggression immediately and don't accept it as normal behavior.
- Show the dog that you will protect the other dog so both dogs trust you and the problem shrinks.
Behavior Changes With Context
- Changing the scenario changes the dog's reaction because dogs read context and pictures.
- Trainers must test behaviors across settings, not assume success in one place transfers everywhere.
Use Spatial Pressure Confidently
- Use clear body language and spatial pressure to control approaching dogs without touching them.
- If you cannot physically or spatially manage a dog, accept you must change your training plan and improve skills.
