Well maybe that is how your pack behaves but fortunately not my dogs. Maybe the day will come when my dogs do get into a bloody serious fight. Im sure that you will be around to point out that you were right and I was wrong.

As for the other points. I have to walk away from those. You win. Hooray for you!

It's how dogs act. It is not something I have personally had a problem with but dogs who gets as aroused as Rabbit with barrier frustration are at a high risk for it or triggering it in other dogs. It has nothing to do with "dominance".

Funny that you posted asking for opinions on dog behavior only to get bent out of shape over the answers and start lecturing about dominance theory.

Well if you read my posts I appreciate all the responses besides yours.

Good luck with your dogs and their redirected aggression. Must be stressful.

I don't think you understand the concept of redirected aggression.

Though you have not yet had a dog fight due to it, you may some day.

Rabbit gets riled up because she's trying to protect her territory, but she CAN'T protect it because she's being blocked from what she's trying to protect it from. She gets frustrated and takes it out on Butters. Not necessarily intentionally, but just out of pure frustration.

I'm positive you don't understand the concept of redirected aggression. You apparently don't understand the concept of being civil either. AgileGSD is someone whom always gives good, level-headed, advice.

Not completely sure why you feel the need to be so disrespectful to her but when you ask for opinions on a public message board you are bound to get information you don't agree with. If you don't like it then ignore it. She was just giving her opinion of what she saw in your video and what you said in your post.

Redirected aggression is when a dog gets over stimualted by something that it can not reach, usually because of a fence, wall, etc. The frustration leads the dog to focus their aggression on something else, usually a dog.

Actually it is my right to disagree with inaccurate information and explain why. So is it ok to state there was no neck grabbing on the video? Because there wasn't, I was there.

Sorry Agile for saying "Good luck with your dogs and their redirected aggression. Must be stressful". That was out of line.

cheers
