Sometimes he will only sit and stare at Sepp for a while, sometiomes he will get physical or even growl very quietly... but Sepp always ends up moving... and this can go on for hours. I'm not cool w/that... same as I wouldn't let one of my kids pick on one another for no reason. I think, personally, there is a big difference between sorting out pack dynamics and being an ass... am I wrong?

Oh, and Michelle... did the long lead this morning, and after flipping himself for the third time Faust decided it was better to come when called instead of trying to barrel through the fence and ignore me.

I agree, it's a little different than what I first thought she was describing.

Why you always gotta hate on my dog and use her as an example of a rude, oblivious dog???
Oh, wait. She is the perfect example of that!
Now she just attacks my poor innocent dog if treats are left out.

As far as pack dynamics go I have no problems w/the dogs sorting it out amongst themselves, to an extent. I don't expect them to love each other 24/7, but I do expect them to learn to co-exist semi-peacefully in the same house.
What can I do to encourage and re-enforce that w/out playing "favorite"?
Right now I take turns crating one of the boys when I'm too busy to pay full attention to both of them, and they take turns sleeping w/me at night. Sepp seems to be okay w/that arrangement, but Faust gets pretty vocal and resentful at times.

He didnt want a come to Jesus moment after he realized what he did.

dlynne1123 wrote:As a breed however Its not just cut in stone as i've seen. It can vary from circumstantial DA, to Dog specific DA or down right, any dog is a challenge DA. Some reactive DA can be harnessed to be nothing more than frustration. Once an alternative is given, a better respone results and they can play well when supervised with 'some' dogs.
