The discussion centered on various behavioral issues observed in dogs, particularly focusing on two collies, Flynn and Milo. Rachel highlighted specific triggers for aggression, such as resource guarding and reactions to reprimands, noting Flynn’s aggressive behavior towards Milo, especially when on a lead. The group explored the concept of littermate syndrome, with Danielle expressing skepticism about its relevance, while Gemma emphasized the importance of addressing individual needs to prevent conflicts among sibling dogs. The consensus was that understanding each dog’s unique requirements is essential for fostering healthy relationships.
The dynamics of leash behavior were also examined, with Danielle noting that some dogs may exhibit aggression due to feelings of vulnerability when restrained. Rachel reiterated Flynn’s aggression towards Milo in these situations, indicating the complexity of their interactions. The need for further video observations was discussed to better assess their behavior. Danielle pointed out the potential impact of hormonal changes on aggression and the importance of a supportive approach to training and behavior modification, especially given the owner’s previous experiences with conflicting advice from behaviorists.
Lucy reported on a follow-up with a client regarding two dogs, Peggy and Lila, whose behavioral issues had worsened after a change in their routine due to the owner’s surgery. She plans to meet with the owner to evaluate the situation and consider reverting to earlier training methods. The conversation also touched on the importance of revisiting foundational concepts in training, with Danielle using a pyramid analogy to illustrate how a strong base can enhance stability and resilience. The group emphasized the need for clear communication with clients to encourage them to seek support without feeling judged.
The meeting concluded with discussions on pricing strategies. Danielle and Hannah talked about establishing a clear pricing structure for their services, addressing market inconsistencies and the challenges of insurance claims.
