I don't know about others here but I can't wait for Mr. Frawley's "Dominant Dog" video. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I've not been able to find a lot of answers to my questions on aggression etc. in books, but reading the outline for the video it looks as if most of my questions (or prayers!) have been answered.
Counting the days....

I can't wait for it either. I have to wait till the end of the month to buy mine. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
Mine's on order. I made a New Year's resolution for my old dog to share her toys and play well with others (or at least stop trying to eat other dogs). She would have made it herself, but she can't read the calender so well. I have been waiting for this DVD for what seems ages.
"a New Year's resolution for my old dog to share her toys"
With a dominant dog you need to think of the toys as your toys, not her toys.
I do not believe there is any situation where it would be reasonable to expect a dominant dog showing dog aggression to share a toy with another dog. The toy is likely a trigger for aggression, an environmental factor that you should control by removing it.
FYI, since learning about training my two dogs I've increased the one on one time with each dog markedly at the expense of time with both dogs together with me. I use kennels and crates to control the dogs. It has produced results.
Note I'm a novice and possibly just a few steps ahead of you Polly. Let's see what others write. rgds andrew may
Andrew,
I was actually making what I thought was a humorous comment, as my kids were expected to learn to "share their toys and play well with others" in Kindergarten. Following the advice of Ed and others on this board, my dogs get toys and bones only in their crates, and 2/3 are fed in their crates (the 3rd in the kitchen). I walk each separately, both to give individual attention and training, and because I find the dominant dog requires my undivided attention. I am aware that my dominant dog is a handful, and I need help, so I am very much looking forward to the DVD, and to the new collar and lead which I hope will improve our relationship. She is very smart, I think we have a good shot.

I wish you very good luck. Sounds like you are taking the right steps. I don't have the dominance issues to deal with but like you have had dogs for some time before seriously learning about dog training. rgds andrew may
