Thx, Mike. In other words, unless the Blue Heeler and Akita are (or begin) fighting each other, then separating the dogs is unnecessary. In fact it’s a backwards step. I get it. But, IMO, if your the trainer in a situation like this, best not to automatically accept the owners’ say-so; instead, ask probing questions, and observe for yourself. Sometimes, dogs that have been getting along, for all sorts of reasons, begin — apparently out of the blue — to have conflicts. Maybe I’m being overly careful, but IMO, being prepared for potential issues is a confidence builder, at least for me it is.
