Our Dogs Only Fight In Our Presence
Add to Favorites
In this video, Ed Frawley shares a comment from a viewer about dogs who only seem to fight when the handler is present. Ed addresses this concern and what he would do about it.
Alliance Aggression is a term some people use to describe when a dog becomes aggressive around and defensive of its handler. We treat this as resource guarding of the handler.
Keep in mind that some dogs will never be dog-friendly and are often best served in a single-animal household. If you have a dog like this in a multi-animal household, you may need to strictly manage that dog and the other animals to keep everyone safe and happy.

When people have specific training questions we recommend that they go to our website and post those questions in the ASK CINDY on the front page of leerburg.com. Cindy has been training dogs since she was a teenager and has competed in several dog sports at a regional and national level. She was also a vet tech and owned a boarding/training and grooming business for many years as well as breeding working Dobermans and Belgian Malinois under the kennel name Kaiserhaus.
Questions posted to ASK CINDY are answered almost every day. They are also recorded in our systems if a dog owner has additional questions Cindy will review the previous Q&As and this helps her give better feedback and assistance.
