Yikes! Is this aggression? NO! But what is it and how can we tell?
This is a senior dog (9 yrs) and a young adult (1 yr). They're mine actually. Sierra, the young blond, decided to join Canyon in his furry bed. She then proceeded to bite his ears and face and generally harrass him for a few minutes. There was a lot of jaw wrestling and jumping on top of him, and after awhile Canyon had enough, but Sierra persisted. Canyon then slowly and gently put her in a "grizzly-bear facelock" (my term) with no pressure, no shaking, no intention to cause injury. The second pic is two seconds later.

Danny used to jump on people at the door and scratch them. Now he's learned alternative behaviors. The clicker helps his Mom with her timing.

When children are included in the training process, they learn new and appropriate ways to interact with their pups. And their pups learn that interacting with children is fun!

Ever have a dog that is very scared at the vet? In our Puppy Kindergarten class, we start very young desensitizing the puppies to future veterinary exams. In these videos, the Fear Free staff at Weston Road Animal Hospital performs practice exams and procedures so the client can continue to do this at home. Note we spray their beds and bandanas with Adaptil, a calming pheromone spray before the exam and use lots of treats to position them and to make the experience more pleasant.
