Product Description
In this DVD lecture, veterinarian and animal behaviorist Dr. Ian Dunbar addresses one of the most worrying behavior problems any dog owner can face -- dogs that fight. Dealing sffectively with canine aggression necessitates a comprehensive understanding of its underlying causes. Topics include: The causes of dog-dog aggression in the context of pack hierarchy. How to assess whether a dog has a serious and dangerous fighting problem or whether it is just prone to squabbling. How castration defuses aggressive encounters. How to set up a remedial "Growl class." How to use precise timing and reprimands to reduce and phase out aggression and build up a dogs confidence and social contacts. This video is written and hosted by veterinarian, animal behaviorist, and author Dr. Ian Dunbar -- the creator of off-leash puppy classes, which sparked the revolution for positive, reward-based, dog-friendly dog training. Dr. Ian Dunbar is the founder of several dog-training organizations, including the Center for Applied Animal Behavior; the Association of Pet Dog Trainers -- the largest and most influential worldwide association of professional pet dog trainers; and SIRIUS Puppy Training -- The Original Puppy Training School.

This hour long nicely produced video consists of footage of Dr. Dunbar giving a lecture on the topic (agression), as well as footage of him working on walk-bys and doing growly classes. - - I like the video because its high on substance - - not overly edited - - yet never boring... Dr. Dunbar is also good at mixing substance with humor and doesn't talk down to his audience (nor use lot's and lot's of loaded jargon and catch words.) He also talks in a way that gets you thinking... for example, is when he asks the human class if there were any who in their entire life never got into a fight or argument... He then explains that adequately socialized dogs know how to temper their bites... and proposes the idea of a bite to vet visit ratio... if a dog for example gets into 15 fights with the same dog, but none of them require either dog to have to take a trip to the vet, the problem may not be so serious... both have the ability to cause serious harm, yet are controlling their bites... In contrast, if a dog has been in three fights... and 2 out of 3 resulted in a trip to the vet, the problem is VERY serious... - - Dr. Dunbar then discusses common solutions and his opinion on them (including tranquilizers and castration - - as well as the roles of testes and ultimately testicles in aggression) - - Ultimately, he asserts that the real foe lies in the practice of breeders taking dogs away from their mother just when the mother is teaching them bite constraint, then humans giving dogs little of a chance to socialize with other dogs... by the time we let them out after vaccinations, suddenly we have a big problem...
After the lecture, Dr. Dunbar let's us sit in on a "growly class" and watch how he trains owners to praise and correct their dogs.
Very engaging video... If you like Jean Donaldson, you'll definitely like Dunbar...
