Dog Aggression: Fighting

Author: 
Ian Dunbar

In this DVD lecture, veterinarian and animal behaviorist Dr. Ian Dunbar addresses one of the most worrying behavior problems any dog owner can face — dogs that fight. Dealing effectively with canine aggression necessitates a comprehensive understanding of its underlying causes. Topics include: The causes of dog-dog aggression in the context of pack hierarchy. How to assess whether a dog has a serious and dangerous fighting problem or whether he is just prone to squabbling. How castration defuses aggressive encounters. How to set up a remedial Growl Class. How to use precise timing, praise and reprimands to reduce and phase out aggression and build up a dog’s confidence and social contacts.
