21
Q

How do we define non injurious?

A

Punctures to the point of veterinary care - shaving and antibiotics and possibly stitches

Number of events

22
Q

What is a script for normalising RG plan A

A

I know it looks like Fido is being evil and scary but it turns out that this is very normal behaviour for dogs. It is an argument between the dogs about something they both want. It’s like kids having a squabble over a toy.

23
Q

If there are big injurious over RG what has to happen?

A

Strict management

24
Q

Why do we bring in strict mgmt when there are big injurious

A

Behv mod is never a guarantee. You never get perfection and one slip could cause a big injury.

We cannot risk it.

25
Q

If non-injurious but intolerable to the owner or a dog is being made fearful, whats plan B?

A

Mgmt and Bmod. We want to get the frequency down

26
Q

So what is “intolerable”

A

Extremely frequent - daily, most interactions
Very distressed owner - can’t live like this

27
Q

What should we make sure we highlight to the owner if it’s just the owner saying “I don’t want dogs arguing in my house”

A

It’s going to be an expensive option - time, commitment and financial.
Nothing IS an option here.

28
Q

Is there a middle ground when talking about intolerable?

A

Mgmt around the contentious resources
Opportunistic DRI but no homework?
No formant set ups/h/work
Training When it comes up

29
Q

What is the intervention threshold

A

Your personal bias about when to intervene

30
Q

Why do we need to be aware of our bias?

We need to look at each case on it’s own merits, not from our bias point of view which will depend on our history/experiences

31
Q

What are the exceptions to having a low intervention bias…..

A

Injuries or fear
Owner welfare

32
Q

How do we handle clients’ biases and distress?

A

Normalise normal behaviour
Be empathetic and not dismissive
Use gradual and empathetic repetition (client D&C!)

Nudge them, don’t shove them

33
Q

What is a double tragedy in terms of people training??

A

People using aversive to P+ NORMAL behv!

34
Q

What are some good scripts about dog dog squabbles

A

I know it really seems that way, it’s upsetting, and it’s tough to get used to but this is normal. Isn’t it interesting how our buttons get pressed by this stuff. Bu interestingly it’s just a spat between the dogs, they are having an argument.

35
Q

What B Mod can we use for RG VIC?

A

Vic is upset. Counterconditioning or DRI

36
Q

What about dogs who are Mugging, bullying, harassing and hazing?
Upset or not?

A

Not upset!
DRI &/or P-

37
Q

How do we aim feedback at the perp when we want to T/o one specific dog? Should we use their name?

A

No, I don’t think we should use their name because we use their name to get their attention for training and for important behv such as recall

38
Q

What other options do we have?

A

A different version of “too bad” NRM, for each dog. Use in training for each individual to build up the association

Let the dog dope out informal cues such as human gaze

39
Q

What is the problem with multiple NRMs?

A

Expensive for owners, we often get names wrong let alone NRM!

40
Q

What is the problem with letting dogs dope out informal cues?

A

Initial confusion!

Q

Why should we beware carpet bomb aversive?

A

Its a non contingent random aversives the dogs have no way to work out how to avoid it

42
Q

What about mugging in multidog households?? What mgmt and bmod

A

Mgmt - kibble scattered in the grass

B mod - are the perps upset? - no! this is likely a sport
Why? P- makes the problem go away.

Work on one perp at a time. Start with the worst offender & t/o him every time he does it. Big magnitude - excluded from group out and take our on own on lead

43
Q

What is contextual hazing

A

Hazing in a specific context. Bullying event

44
