Related Problem to the Agression Chewing Sprikler Lines While my working with Blue has helped calm him we are not always around when this through the gate aggression between Blue and Kirky occurs. But this appears to be creating a secondary problem. One of out other dogs, Tux a male stray...

Specifics of the problem Our dogs are fenced and will not go out. But 4 other dogs not restrained within their property are frequently at our gate as another neighbor across from us feeds them when their owner is gone which is frequent. Blue, protecting our property gets upset, starts barking...

Unfortunately the post link on Dominance does not work. This is a subject of interest as I am dealing with this issue

Thank you it's re-posted the thread. The problem is how to stop the dominance and aggression. And more specifically the fence fighting and barking. The dog is in good health, obviously gets a lot of exercise, and we recognize him over the other dogs as pack leader by letting him be first...
