II have 4 dogs and am already using a similar method..and he shares toys and
beds and gives way to the other dogs on other things.. perhaps it is due to
his neglect case .. or perhaps he is just establishing his place in the
pack.. we will see. Remember, I have almost normal ( for me) vision indoors in
my
house... Working with and owning, as well as training deaf dogs to CDX level,
for the last 18 years has given me a fine understanding of body postures and
language..teaching owners to manage aggressive dogs refined it .For a good
treat, try training a deaf aggressive dachshund..grin.He was a real
challenge...After a pro course for 16 months and graduating second in the
class and 16
years of teaching as well as helping in tracking, schutzhund and search work
... I darn well better know what I am doing.. I asked this list for the
opinion on this affecting his working ability, and in confidence.. Not to be
told
things like I was a newbie.. Sorry for sounding miffed, but I am. If I
considered this a serious issue I would have returned him by now. I am aware
of
the potential for guarding to spread/escalate. Especially since he is a
shepherd mix. I dont really know why I asked.If it doesn't resolve soon, I
will wash
him out anyway.. Curious more than anything..I guess. Time out seemed to do
wonders this morning, It is not a technique I use much but worked with him.
