Misplaced aggression
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. |
