Redirected Aggression I'd like to know more about redirected aggression and how to deal with it.
When our parrot makes certain noises, the dog becomes frantic.
Sometimes he will grab a stuffie and chew it and he gets praise for that. Other times, he will bark and try to bite. Using the spray bottle to get him to stop doesn't always work because I can't always get to the spray bottle.
The parrot is caged and separated from the dog by gates. They can see each other. If he gets near the parrot, he eats the food she's thrown down and her droppings.
Can anyone offer any help?
Thank you
