USA 2 201 The Berry Bunch 1/2/2010 There was plenty of disharmony amongst the 6 people in the Berry household, which in turn was causing chaos among the 9 dogs with whom they shared the house.  Oscar the Dachsund had a bite history and some pretty significant aggression issues towards both people and other dogs.  Since the dogs had very little consistency, they were constantly toileting in the house, a nightmare walk, and several of them had some pretty significant behavioral issues.In this season premiere, Victoria's primary task was to try and get all of the family to work together for the benefit of their dogs, if not themselves.  While they were very caring owners, they had very different ideas on how to treat, feed and care for the dogs, and this caused a lot of arguments. By presenting them with a feeding and walking schedule to suit their individual schedules, Victoria restored some balance to the overall caregiving by shifting more responsibility to Erik, the father, and away from his daughter, Kim.

Choice Training – Working with a Leash Reactive Dog

When Sadie first came into my life four years ago, she was what I would call a reactive dog, lunging towards and barking viciously at any dog that walked past or came close to her. Fortunately I was able to temper her reaction and teach her a new way to cope and behave in similar situations. The techniques I used meant I could change her behavior without physically punishing or imposing my will upon her in any way. I just gave her choices.
