What is the best way to teach dogs not to fight with neighbor dogs through the fence?

March 20, 2010

My dogs jump at the fence and bark at the neighbors’ dogs, and their dogs do the same to outs, and it drives me crazy! It’s also dangerous. My dogs are small/medium (34 lbs and 14 lbs) but the neighbors have huge Goldern Retrievers and a really vicious-looking pit bull type terrier.

Dog Training: Recognizing, Preventing, and Handling Dog Aggression

March 18, 2010


A dog is an instinctively aggressive creature. In the wild, aggression came in very handy: dogs needed aggression to hunt, to defend themselves from other creatures, and to defend resources such as food, a place to sleep, and a mate. Selective breeding over the centuries has minimized and refined this trait significantly, but there’s just [...]
