minus-squarewildginger@lemmy.myserv.onelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months agoIs there any explanation for this behavior? Like, I get the whole fence thing. But why do they act like this when theres a barrier between them?
minus-squareRin@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months agoI think maybe resource guarding but I think I’m wrong.
minus-squarewildginger@lemmy.myserv.onelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months agoWhats the resource here? The man is the barrier. The dog knows he isnt supposed to cross the man, and so gets aggressive towards the other dog. But there doesnt seem to be any toy or treat or anything to guard. And that doesnt explain the loss of aggression upon removal of the barrier.
minus-squareMinarble@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months agoThe barrier protects them and they can mouth off all they want. Yes it really is that simple.
