It’s happened. The dreaded fight. And now every time Fido looks at Spot everyone gets tense – including you. How do you prevent this from happening again?
It can be a challenge to recover from a fight between housemate dogs. The good news is that in most cases where there was a good relationship to begin with, the damage can be repaired (and even bad relationships can sometimes be made better too). Join Irith Bloom to learn best practices for what to do after fights. She’ll also talk about warning signs that a fight may be getting more likely, even if one hasn’t happened yet.
Looking to restore harmony, or simply doing your best to make sure things stay calm? This session will give you the tools you need!
