Owner compliance is crucial for success and depends in part on the dog’s acceptance of the product. The responses of 12 dogs to four different head collars were compared in a crossover design over four 10min sessions each spaced 2 weeks apart. All dogs were naı̈ve to head collars and were free of overt behavioral abnormalities. Dogs wore the collars only during testing sessions. Observed behaviors were divided into two groups. Group 1 included pawing, pawing nose, biting/pawing leash, opening mouth, rubbing face, and shaking head. Group 2 included rearing up, balking, rushing forward, and rolling on ground. No statistical difference was observed between dogs’ reactions to the head collar types; although, there was a trend toward increased reactions to the Snoot Loop® and Response® collar during the first session. Dogs did show a marked reduction in overall reactions to the head collars over time. By Session 4 there was a significant decrease in behavioral scores as compared to Session 1. Based on this study, there does not appear to be an increased acceptance of one head collar type over another.

Peaches kicks and scratches when the daughter goes to put Peaches back into the cage after being let out to play. Ms. Jones is not sure what to do. The local pet store told her Peaches was too dominant and she should find another rabbit. Ms. Jones is distraught because her daughter is very attached to Peaches despite Peaches aggressive behavior. (See Case Study 1 at the end of the chapter for resolution of Peaches ’ problem.)

ANIMALS 305 pairs of dogs (610 dogs) with IDA. PROCEDURES The record database of a referral veterinary behavioral clinic was searched to identify pairs of dogs that were evaluated for IDA (IDA pairs) between September 2007 and September 2016. A standardized form was used to extract data for each IDA pair, including signalment and acquisition order of both dogs, history of IDA, behavioral interventions implemented, and outcome. Descriptive data were generated. Univariable logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with a poor outcome. RESULTS Most IDA pairs included at least 1 female dog (214/305 [70%]) and dogs of the same sex (188/305 [61.6%]). Resource guarding was the most common fight trigger (222/305 [72.8%]). Possessive aggression (guarding of physical resources) was t...
