In this episode, Ed Frawley shares a comment from a viewer about dogs who only seem to fight when the handler is present. Ed addresses this concern and what he would do about it. Alliance Aggression is a term some people use to describe when a dog becomes aggressive around and defensive of its handler. We treat this as resource guarding of the handler. Keep in mind that some dogs will never be dog-friendly and are often best served in a single-animal household. If you have a dog like this in a multi-animal household, you may need to strictly manage that dog and the other animals to keep everyone safe and happy. | Links mentioned: How We Manage Dogs In Our Home: https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/14 | Dominant Dog Collar: https://leerburg.com/746.htm | Short Leashes: https://leerburg.com/shortleash.htm | Muzzles: https://leerburg.com/muzzle.htm | Free Online Course with Purchase of Any Muzzle from Leerburg.com - Conditioning Your Dog to Wear a Muzzle: https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/150 | Dealing with Dominant and Aggressive Dogs: https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/137
