My goal is to do a retrieve after fire. A formal retrieve into heel, paired with trap shooting (clay targets). I want to prove to myself that it can be done without degrading the relationship or treating the dog like a disposable tool. This is not a toy she plays with, but she is playful so I doubt it will matter what toy we use, I think in the end we would have had to work through this one way or another. I’m actually glad she wants to play with it because I can use play as Premack principle when we are out in a place that has squirrels and lizards…..or hunting them can be Premack 😂

I finally watched this……omg…….this made me nervous, ritualized aggression looks more like dominance conflict between two same sex same age canines trying to control a recourse with the dudes face all up in the mix
Reminds me of this video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8c5EQMPIkaA

Can he see out of the car windows? Comfort could be a thing, but barrier frustration from the excitement of going places can cause it too. Does he spend time in a crate any other time? Is he crate trained properly? Some people get a car crate and don’t spend the appropriate time doing crate breaking. A lick sticker might be a reasonable band aid….but I would be interested to know about the crate elsewhere. Also….how’s leadership?
Does he bark on the way to and from?

This was very thought provoking Art. I may steal this for my client page if you don’t mind my citing your thoughts.

I love 18 and 19, I also like how your ethical process includes accountability for competence and continued growth. I love it.

The Wikipedia definition of ritualiazed aggression looks very much like calming signals in canines, or territorial displays. I am just basing my comments off of what I learned from Mech and Schenkl as it helps me keep defining terms simple. There is an article in the leadership group that addresses studies in this exact topic and a major flaw of the study is fluid definitions especially in relation to dominant behavior.

Ritualized aggression is a weird term to me as aggression is (from what I understand) mostly a result of conflict (real or perceived), usually we see submissive behaviors indicating the subordinate animals, rather dominance displays. Dominance is meant to reduce conflict. I have seen the video you are referring to, very interesting. There is something to be said for captivity causing problems….kind of like people having sexually mature dogs with no leadership…..

Yay! This is super cute! I have learned to make sure she gets some tug work in before or she tries to start a game during this session…but she is now picking it up and learning to hold to the out towards me! She is so cute! Can’t wait to see Eury!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for checking it out!

It might help to have them do some formal crate training outside of the car. I have experienced similar issues and doing some in house crate training and spending time in the crate regularly is helpful. A lick sticker attaches to side of the crate and can have almond butter or the like smeared on it.
