Cathy's seven-year-old pet "mostly-foxhound"
Five-and-a-half years ago, Cathy Eising asked our experts how she could steady her two-year-old pet “mostly-foxhound” on deer and other riot, so she could walk him in the woods off lead. She evidently achieved some success, since she has contacted us with another challenging question. The foxhound is now a seven-year-old.
Cathy asks, “How can I prevent his aggression towards other dogs who are invited into our house by me with their owners? I would like to be able to have friends bring their dogs when visiting and not have fights.”

I have had success with a couple of visiting dogs using what I learned here. Seeing the problem as jealousy not aggression made the most difference. I've been keeping him and visiting dog on leash until ground rules are established and he demonstrates relaxed body language. I have also asked visiting humans to limit affection toward him as this is a way he takes control ( he takes ownership on visiting dogs owner).
Thank you again for the help,
Cathy
