You know, so far that we've seen the only time Toby fixates and gets actually aggressive towards izzy is when there is a chew toy such as a rawhide, or hoof or antler involved. He doesn't act anywhere near that aggressive over stuffed toys or squeakies. I mean they've always play fought with each other, and every once in a while one would get the other to yelp loud and then they'd stop for a few seconds and play on. And he's always fixated on whatever she happens to be playing with, but not to the degree as with the hooves or antlers and such. And as soon as he gets whatever it is, he doesn't care about it any more. Only cares when she has it. He isn't real good at sharing with the class. And we always buy two of everything to try and avoid this.
I'm gonna look for another trainer who is here in the city to work with him regarding his aggression towards grooming. Maybe I'll just add this to their plate. I gotta go. He's taunting me with his stuffed bat and wants me to chase him so he can run across the living room like he's on fire. Lol |
