You'll be surprised how much you can accomplish in a few weeks with NILIF. Most behavior problems go away just by implementing NILIF. |
I'm not sure I unserstand that reasoning. The dog is not starting a fight , it is just warning the other dog to back off. The dog gives the bone to humans, just not to the other dog.
so is he just supposed to drop it and let the other dog have it? then what? What if he wants it back, then is the other dog supposed to drop it?
Dogs have their own rules and their own pecking order. Even when they all know that you are the pack leader.
No if the dog were ascually being agfressive towards the other dog that would be a problem.
As for the new dog, you introduce them slowly and make sure they get along before you leave them alone together. if it is a puppy, there should not be any problems, because if the puppy is properly taught, it will know not to challenge another dog.
