Ok, you guys tell me what you think of this situation:

Its summer and we moved into our current home in December. The house has a
lovely large yard, which has a chain link fence on one side. All winter long
that yard was empty, however the yard now sometimes contains a golden
retreiver. Boys saw the golden once over the winter, but it appeared to be
afraid to walk in the snow, so it just snarled and barked from a path near
the house. However, the snow is finally gone, so all dogs can run to the
fence. Kavik goes out first and things go fine. Dog and he sniffing
through fence, wagging tails. Toklat is allowed to join them. He runs up
to fence, tail wagging. Golden attacks fence, Tok barks. Kavik then
attacks Tok. He was actually biting him, although did no damage and Toklat
didn't seem particularly upset about it, but it wasnt' play, certainly. I
think Kavik was fearful when the dog attacked and became overstimulated and
took it out on Tok.

What do you think?


Situation is being remedied (working with Golden owner) and things are going
well. Dogs doing better together.

took it out on Tok.

Displaced aggression is common, especially with respect to fence fighting.
Adrenaline is flowing, dog can't get to object of his ire, he turns toward the
one next to him. Very common.
