Aggression is NOT best treated with more aggression and by whacking them on the nose with a wooden dowel you're going to take a simmering pot and push it immediately to a full boil.
I would STRONGLY suggest a new trainer if this represents the extent of this person's knowledge.
Having had 2 sets of bitches who wanted to kill each other, and having tried to do some desensitization work with little success, I can tell you that you'd NEVER get so far as to have them that close. The posturing and stiffness/hackling will start LONG before you get them "nose to nose."
Keep the dogs apart. |
Do you mind if I ask you what kind of desensitization work you tried? I know that they will not start to posture or hackle upon first seeing each other or if being in the same room under cose supervisation. They will however, when one tries to leave the room before the other or if one feels that the other is getting the attention that they feel they should get- if that makes any sense lol. Right now they are ket completely separated from eachother except for the passing by crates. I am not opposed to continuing like this by all means, but it would be nice to know if I can or cannot desensitize them some towards this. I guess you must be pretty experienced with having been through this. Thanks for your insight and i am looking forward to some more!
