Do you have any articles or books to suggest on dog-on-dog aggression to read for possible solutions?
Full Question:
Cindy, I have several beagles that I hunt with, and two red heelers for working with our cows. One of the red heelers, a female, cannot be around the beagles without trying to kill them. We have to keep them separated all the time. The dog is very loving and usually obeys but not when it comes to the beagles, she hates them. Do you have any articles or books to suggest on reading for possible solutions? If not, then I will have to rehome her, and she is good with working with the cattle, and other animals. Thanks for you advice Cindy!
Cindy's Answer:
How long has this been going on? Often, unless you can micromanage every moment between dogs like this it is very difficult and sometimes impossible to fix.
User Response:
The one old beagle in the house (very old). she leaves along and never fights. It is the pack that she does not like. I don't know if I could get her to be friends with one beagle at a time. I have not tried that mainly because just to try it could be dangerous. The beagles are noisy, and they bark and she reacts. She is about 4 years old, and it has been going on since she became an adult dog.The beagles are a pack and we take them hunting rabbits. I have often wondered if she is jealous because I do spend quite a bit of time with the pack. We go to field trials with them sometimes too.
I also wanted to ask about DVD's. If a person orders the DVD, do they get the streaming as well? If they order the streaming only, how many times can they watch it, and for how long? I am thinking of ordering Ed's streaming video on dog aggression.
Cindy's Answer:
The dynamics of a pack of dogs that have history of eliciting an aggressive response is not going to be something I would try to work through. Like you said, trying to incorporate the heeler even one at a time could be too dangerous. My guess is that it's going to be a huge task and one that will still require that you keep them separated when you can't focus 100% of your attention on them.
To answer your question about the DVDs, if you order, you get instant access to the streaming version. You can watch the stream as many times as you want forever. You have unlimited access.

Cindy, BTW, I love the way you respond. You are practical-minded with lots of common sense. So thank you. I will see about ordering the streaming. I think it would stream very well through the computer. I am not sure if I could stream through the television, but I will check that out also.
