I learned this with my own two. Buddy mostly always was very submissive to his dominant sister, but on the rare occasion she crossed his boundary he bared his teeth or even snapped in her direction, and she stopped her shit and left him alone. Calmed down and laid close but not so close that she was disrespecting his space. Just near enough to show she understood the message he sent and she was sorry. In the 11 years we had them both, it never ever escalated beyond that. It’s just how they communicate. And they understand each other better than we ever could.

Hi , your videos saved me from a longer depressed state with my bipolar. It's like I was able to come out after 2 days of videos instead of isolation for 5 or 6 days . It's debilitating when it's real. I am so loved by your love for the dogs ,which is god spelled backwards Btw !♥️♥️ You are an incredibly generous heart felt man! You make me want to run out and save pets and be generous with my heart . I love all the dogs so much. Thank you ❤️
I think it's wonderful that Lee is using this opportunity to help owners of packs understand the personalities. I believe most people that have multiple dogs do understand most actions and reactions but this is good for everyone to know.
I grew up in a multi-generational house and we were very horse and hound. I think I understood dogs before I understood humans.. in fact I think understanding dogs in packs is how I understood humans when I went away to school and then later to University. It's even held fast in understanding adults.
One thing I learned very early in dealing with our dogs was not to say/yell "no!". I know that sounds weird but we never said "no" if we saw one of them being "bad". Instead we gave them options like "come over here" or "let's do this"... And then we would take a look at the scenario.
To this day when I see someone say no when dogs are dogging I want to give my opinion but that is not for me to give.
Lee on the other hand, Lee can teach many! ❤🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾
Don't say no to dogs, say no to drugs ! 🙄
Lee you are so in touch with your pack but also your own feelings. You teach us. Thank you!! What you do is a beautiful thing. My granddaughter and I pray for Asher House, you, your family and your pack. Much love. 😊❤
I AM A NEW WATCHER & I LOVE UR KINDNESS & LOVE TO ALL THESE ANIMALS,,,,,BLESS YOU & ALL UR ANIMALS!!❤❤
We wmpaths need to support one another. Lee is such a confident empath as a male. You’re a role model to all others.
Right. And for those who have a pack really pay attention to the dogs interactions. That way you understand each dogs body language. You'll learn to distinguish their actual language. Not all growls are the same and not all growls are a sign of aggression.

💛I think you should make more dog videos with tips and being responsible dog owners! I found this super helpful! Thank you so much Lee!🧚😀🌞
Hi, I'm 83 and been in rescue, and other endeavors with dogs since I was six years old. You are absolutely correct!! I do the same thing. I hear from friends about dog fight amongst their pets. I have to tell them over and over that it's not a "fight", these people don't learn because they are in a hurry to stop the so called "fight". The average dog owner or cats or whatever do not understand the language of their pets. Do not understand their pets perceptions of an event or life in general. Drives me nuts. People have many motives for having a particular pet. And they are influenced by family members, story lines in the news, Disney movies about dogs, cats, etc.. They don't pay attention.
Glad you’re out here teaching people stuff like this. So many people don’t realize that dogs have to communicate to each other and learn things on their own
Thank you.. great insights
Thanks Lee🙏 Thank you for reminding me to not jump in every time my dogs have quarrel. And like Lona and Clyde it seems to be the case “leave me alone “ and the other dog not listening. I have to stop being afraid of full blown fight
yes this makes all the sense! And please, we want LONGER videos give us your best shot im ready for a 3h long marathon
So my dog is very very hyper and sometimes doesnt know how to respect boundaries and I usually try to do exactly what you said (when both dogs are friendly), but I swear any little growl and everyone gets into a panic. The funniest part is that it works very well, when a dog stands up for my dog he usually backs out and chills a bit. I personally love everytime that happens cause it means he's learning the social norm and how to interact on agroup setting
I love ur education on pack behavior. Excellent!!
I think that’s good for children too. If you intervene every time your child gets into a spat or disagreement he/she will never learn to hade a situation. It’s not easy to watch sometimes but it’s necessary for their adult life. It also creates Avery good time for open discussion about conflict.
I love the way he's walking and talking then suddenly "Lilly! Lilly! Don't eat the mud." then continues what he was saying. 😊
You don't have to apologize for trying to help people have a better relationship with their dogs. It's really not necessary. If people don't want to listen and learn they can leave. Also, I would love to see longer videos with all of the pets in paradise! I love what you're doing. God bless and God speed! Tfs.
Love the way you understand the way dogs are. You can talk as long as you wish I have enjoyed every minute and have learned a great deal. Thank you.
All so true. Love you Lee!
I really appreciate the training. More!!!
Just now beginning to watch and "follow" you. First, thank you for sharing your life and "The Pack" with us, I don't think you realize how this helps OTHERS in so many aspects! I gotta tell you tho, I haven't shed so many tears in awhile, not both happy & sad tears at the same time, anyhow. How openly honest you are....restoring faith, giving life to the unwanted or discarded animals, not just dogs, is blowing me away. Wanting to take the day off to binge watch, I will carry on and await your next story/stories! hugs, from VT.
This only happened with a stray I adopted but all of my dogs from puppyhood, no problems. I had to stress that point.💖
I have been rescueing for twenty-three plus years (usually sick, senior dogs owners no longer have a need for) and I can agree with Lee on everything he said. Animals feel the energy of their humans and feed off that. Dogs understand each other.
Fantastic explanation. Thank you. 😊👍
You so rock !
Great info, Lee! Love what you do and I found this video very helpful!
Amazing such great advice 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I recommend this video to all dog owners.
Thank you! This gives us insight into understanding our dogs more
I have two dogs but I try not to interfere unless it's dangerous. Your advice was very helpful thanks!
Such good video giving knowledge about dogs - It's unfortunate that I see a lot of owners not listening to their dogs
I have 3 labs. Mom (12), Dad (12) & son (9.5) Once puberty hit for my youngest, all bets were off in my household. He has a baby complex so he thinks _everything_ is his. Including me.
The first ever fight between the boys was by the food bowl. My husband rushed into to separate them. I had never seen my youngest be so aggressive & act that way. It scared me. So from then on we have to keep them separated _24 7_ When one is out of the cage, the other one is in their cage.
The second fight was when my mom accidentally let my youngest out of the cage while I was taking a nap & the dad was sleeping by my feet. She didn't understand the reason why one was in the cage.. As soon as the son seen him, he got on the corner of the bed & growled then, the fight was on. I woke up to the growl. I jumped up as it began so I had to drag them off my bed to get more room then I had to separate them like I was an athlete.
The last time they fought was when my husband wasn't paying attention & didn't notice the son wasn't locked up when he was letting the dad back in. That fight was the worst one to date. They fought till they will both left with no energy. Blood _all over_ my kitchen cabinets with fur etc We couldn't separate them no matter what we did. My poor husband was about to have an asthma attack trying.. Once the son finally let go of him, his dad ran in to his cage out of breathe. While fighting, the son was scared to let go of him because he knew the dad would get him. The dad has extra saggy skin around his neck so that's what he always grabbed.
I have had to keep them separated since 2016/2017!!!!! Rotating them in & out _allllll day long_ 🤦♀️ I have muzzles I bought forever ago but haven't tried them. The dad is at an age now that he can't handle all that bs dominance & fighting. I don't know what else to do. These dogs are my life & I refuse to re-home anyone. It's just a messed up situation..
** Recently the mom had to be unexpectedly put down so it's now just my boys left but, I still keep them separated.
We have 5 dogs. They all get along well. When they argue, I don’t take sides. I tell them to cut it out. Lol, it’s usually at feeding time, and jostling for a spot. And everyone has their own bowl, each dog gets fed in the same spot, every meal. However, I only have 2 hands. I make all 5 bowls, feed them in the same order twice a day. That doesn’t mean that two might get excited. I’m never worried about the two arguing dogs, it’s all noise, BUT I do worry about a third dog taking sides, and complicating things. I’ve broke up enough dog fights over the years, and gotten bitten. I now know the way of it a little better. It’s natural to want to put your hands between their mouths. DONT DO THAT! Grab a dog by the hind quarters, and pull up and away. If the other dog won’t let go, scruff it.
Lol, I was going to reply, but, you took the words right out of my mouth. We also have five, all different sizes. I also feed twice a day. Our newest dog is food fixated. She gets fed separately, in a closed room, because she starts fights. She isn’t allowed to eat with the others, or get released with the others until the food bowls are removed. She doesn’t get in trouble, and the others eat in peace. Our largest dog gets the most food, of course. She is also a slow and gentle eater. She also gets fed separately, but, in sight of the others, and with a human guardian, so she can relax and eat at her own pace. The other three eat like they’ve never seen food before, clear their bowls in minutes, and check each others bowl for left over food. Our littlest dog goes into attack mode if you play with another, and the dog growls, and she gets confused. So, we play with the others away from her. Lol, I also have a lone ferret. She reacts to a squeaky toy, so, the dogs aren’t allowed those kinds of toys in her room. I use the toy as a tool to call her to me if she gets out of sight while playing in the yard. I admit, I have no idea why the ferret reacts to it. Does she like it? Does it scare her? Is she defending me? I don’t know. I walk her every morning in her playground in the yard, but she is fast, and can get out of sight, or escape, in seconds. The toy calls her back, but, it means the dogs are restricted from squeakers, or she will attack them. Lol, we also have 3 cats. It’s fun, but busy.
Its like a sheppard knows his sheep they know his voice and they know their master
getting to know your dogs is key.
I've been guilty of saying no fighting, but they stop.
Hi Lee! Love the dogs 🐕 love ❤️ the show, love it all!!!!
Poor wittle Maeve! I would LOVE to kiss her wittle precious face!!!!! Lol!
And dogs pick up on that right away yeah you can’t discipline from fear you have to trust that they can figure things out as a rule and you intervene before it gets out of hand usually they can settle it on their own as long as they’re not fighting
I would love to know how he keeps track of all them when they are out like that. My dogs would not stay close to me they are runners. Now in the house that’s different they won’t leave my side I have no personal space…..lol
nice
They are family and your children.
Work with children as well.
"Have the confidence to see what your dogs can sort between themselves". Very well put.
Yeah it's brilliant - gave me a lot to think about
I was totally this person and then dogs eye popped half way out in a scuffle. So trying to get back to leading the pack dynamics work them self out when possible it’s been a little more difficult… But this is very true
They need to express their feelings...as humans...
Like with kids. ❤
Not sure about that !
Lee, you’re an empath. Very connected with your pack. It’s beautiful! Keri💜
Yes he totally is,there's a connection.
Yep!
Another AWESOME educational video.
I'm an empath & used 2 b ashamed bcoz others criticize: saying "buck up" or that I'm 2 sensitive. I thought they were saying I was weak & implied it was me over reacting. Finally I realize all of us r different & we need many types of people in society.
@@marshawalker5273 💯 we need all types of people! Congrats on being an empath, it’s a beautiful characteristic! Keri💜
I absolutely agree with you. I've had dogs for over 40 years and witnessed countless dog owners stopping and yelling at their dogs as soon as they had started to growl. In most cases the result is exactly what you said : the loud noise and the fear of the dog owner causes so much stress in the dogs that they end up in a fight.
@@julieseifert4680 I will be seventy five in September. Thirty years in law enforcement. Lost my last dog in January. He looked exactly like Clyde. White Swiss Shepherd. It gets very hard for us old timers who were always use to having dogs. At this age I will not take a dog for fear that I will die and they will be left to wonder where I went and why I am not returning. Sorry didn't mean to sound morbid but it is a serious concern.
Put
Don’t apologize for this being long I wish they were longer lol but your teaching people how to understand and communicate with their babies that’s a beautiful thing love ya 💜
Well said! I totally agree with you!
I agree 😊

Absolutely, the longer the video, the better. I love these videos.
This is really interesting!! I see this in my 5. THANKS
It's very interesting how you can see and sense how your dogs communicate with each other and you. How you let your dogs be dogs, you let them figure things out between each other, you only intervene when you sence it will excelarate between them. I am so impressed by your knowledge of your pack and other dogs who enter your pack. It's a beautiful thing, love ya my friend!!❤❤❤

Since I've never witnessed any bickering in the videos, I've always wondered how you deal with it when it happens. Thanks for answering this mystery.
We as humans barely let each other healthfully express our emotions & boundaries, we seem to just continue that and apply it to our dog friends too. Let them speak!😄😉
Very true and healthy...
Guilty as charged! Thank you for bringing it to the front of my mind, and teaching me ways to do better.
"You need to let the dog figure it out for him/herself and....Lily, don't eat the mud". Hahahaha that was too cute!
Indeed, Lee’s parents should be immensely proud.
Humans could learn from this too...❤💙
13:55 Lucy standing there with that toy. She is so dang special. She touches my heart. ❤️
I think that’s Callie? Lucy is a deeper brown and might’ve been to the left of Callie.
I have four dogs and I absolutely agree with your sentiment to allow the dogs to work it out
Thank you Lee 🙏. Many nuggets of wisdom within this info. I appreciate you greatly & I love watching all of your doggies. Keep up the great work.

Excellent tutorial! Thank you Lee! 🙂
I also find that the smaller the pack is, the more intense the contacts are. It seems like when the pack is big, the dogs have more options (of contact or of solitary time): everything is more "diluted".
You explained that very well! Sleep or no sleep...very good points. It makes sense and patience and trust are important. Thank you! Definitely a dog whisperer my friend. Blessings.👵🙏😊💖🐕🐕🐕...get some rest kiddo.

This is absolutely a very important piece of information for anyone with dogs. This ability to be in tune with your dog will help in every situation, dog park, walk, pack interaction and meeting new situations. Thank you!
You are living your purpose. I love your authenticity.
I don't call it a fight, I call it a "correction." Everyone has a position in the pack and balance is important. If you have a dog pestering another or "getting on its nerves" that needs to be sorted out between them. I agree with Asher in that inserting yourself immediately can increase the level of intensity, or prevent anything from being resolved. You do need to be aware of anything potentially going off the rails and be available for that.....but 99.999% of the time the dogs will sort it out.
I went to visit my sister and our dogs have always gotten along famously. They're the same size and age and have always been very content with each other. This particular day my dog, Archie, wanted a higher level of interaction and her dog, Sadie, just wanted to be left alone. My brother-in-law kept inserting himself, trying to shoo my dog away, making comments to me suggesting I should......I don't know, do something about my dog. Other than to constantly scold him the only other option would have been to leave. I told BIL, "Leave them alone and she will correct him." He wouldn't allow it and kept trying to rescue Sadie when she hadn't indicated she needed it. Finally the BIL's attention was off the dogs for a couple of minutes and Sadie gave a sharp yip to Archie, who immediately turned around and left her alone. I said to the BIL, "See? She told him to quit bugging her and he did." The BIL responded, "She shouldn't have to be in that position!" LOL As if she was being sexually harassed or something. I said, "It's just communication, the dogs are just fine, no one is hurt, no one is even upset, except you"
@Ms Darby good example of how dogs can work it out for themselves. So many people fear what MAY happen when very rarely does it get to that point…..at least with dogs who know each other. Where I see escalations happen is where a dog which hasn’t been well socialized is introduced to a bunch of new dogs and they misinterpret the dogs around them or get overwhelmed. However, with dogs that know each other well and typically get along there is little chance for escalation. Lee is spot on and so are you Ms Darby.
Yes, I see this all the time. A real aggressive fight in a stable pack is rare. Dog speak between dogs is usually very effective and since dogs don't hold grudges, everything carries on peacefully. You do have to know how to read dog body language though. There are books written on this subject but real life experience with dogs is better.
@@kates3308 Yes, unfortunately that is very true. I've seen a few attacks at the dog park when someone with a poorly socialized dog thought that bringing their socially insecure dog around 20 other dogs was a good idea, lol. And then there was the one that also brought food with a dog who was food aggressive. :::eyeroll::::
To me, dogs are not complicated. They are the most transparent, easy to read creatures. But there are many people that read dogs like you would read a human being, giving them emotions and motivations that just don't exist in the dog realm. Humans usually create more problems than the dogs do.
@@peggynulsen1365 I'm sitting for a dog who is 5 months old and hasn't seen another dog since he was adopted. He's a 5 pound Shi Tzu and you should have seen the look on his face when he met my 70lb 3/4 standard poodle, 1/4 golden retriever. That first 24 hours he jumped at every noise. Hahaha, it was priceless!! I'm so proud of my boy who, in three days, has done some incredible dog communication. The little nugget is already worshipping "The Boss" and The Boss has tolerated and corrected a lot of missteps.
@@msdarby515 I was fortunate enough to finally get the puppy I so wanted. Our's are all rescue, but Bryne came to us at about 10 -12 week's old, yes I put in lot's of my own training etc,but the other's certainly did teach him how to be a member of the pack.
As a pack leader of 55 dogs at one point, I'm at 28 now, this information is very important. You never want a fight in a large pack, because spin off fights can also occur.
Also Lee is the Alpha dog by virtue of his large presence. Being the leader of you pack needs to be discussed in another video. As such words can correct most situations. Good work Lee!
100%
Well said you def have to be the leader ❤️
We’ve always had 3-5 dogs, always strays who show up and we can’t find their families. So they stay with us forever. They’ve always gotten along eventually but your video today is very helpful with our older, grumpier doggies. ☺️
Love this SO much! Don't ever apologize for your video being "too long" - personally, I can't get enough of you & your pooches!! Love you all ❤🐾❤

Is Tony doing ok? Noticed him limping on his back right leg, hopefully it's not hip dysplasia. 🤞🙏🏼
I have 3 dogs and they know who the leader is and whose #3 Its funny watching that dynamic.
I love how you love animals and are willing to share your life and knowledge with the rest of us. Thank you so much for making me smile. 😊🐕
I will give Lee leeway 💛
😄
Lee is so great with his dogs that he could teach others like Cesar Milan. He's a natural dog guardian.
The sound of complete silence. That's when a parent will tell you something is wrong. lol. Thanks for explaining how you deal with situations.
Ha, yes, just like with kids, it’s the sudden SILENCE that’s the even scarier sound! Thank you for this, I’ve had multiple fur kids most of my life and it really IS challenging sometimes to keep my mouth shut while the kids have the conversation they need to have and set the boundaries they need to set! 💜
I will never bring my dog to a dog park, not because of other dogs, but because people are idiots.
Lee, thank you very much for all you do as well as the dog training tips.
This was very good! The thing that drives me nuts is when I see someone walking their dog and taking on their cellphone!! That is a total disconnect.
Thank you for explaining the pack , I wondered how you keep control, but you know each one of your dogs , it’s always a pleasure to watch you and so many happy dogs , how fortunate they are , I can see you love what you are doing, I have so much respect for you Lee , God Bless you ❤️

Ante mis ojos, eres un ser grande y maravilloso...
Love your channel and love what you’re doing for animals! I have been a K9 Handler and dog owner for decades. But I am now having a situation with my 2 rescue dogs. Both are shepherds and both came from neglect/abuse situations. My 1st guy (Butch) is very easy going and loves everyone. He gets along with my old guy a min pin/chihuahua. I’ve had Butch for about 21/2 yrs. I recently adopted Rett, who was the most shut down, timid, totally disengaged dog I have ever seen. He was about to be euthanized, but I couldn’t let that happen. In the 6mos or so that I’ve had him, he has become a different dog! He actually comes to me to be petted and loved on. He absolutely adores Butch, and Butch really likes him too…most of the time. The issue is Butch will jump on Rett when I am giving Rett attention. He hasn’t hurt Rett, and it doesn’t happen often, but I hate that now that Rett has started to come around, Butch’s possessiveness might ruin the progress Rett has made. Any suggestions? Usually, when I notice Butch is getting tense, I verbally correct him, but I have had to separate them a couple of times. I spent quite a long time as an explosives dog handler in Iraq, and had to separate fierce alpha dogs that truly wanted to hurt each other. This isn’t anything like that, but it’s upsetting that my pack isn’t as happy as it could be.
Min pins love pins!
Since you were a K9 handler in Iraq (no less!), I don't know if there's anything I can tell you that you don't already sense on some level yourself. Rather than overthink "pack mentality", it seems more the same kind of sibling rivalry as in any family, such as when a new baby arrives. Maybe Butch is jealous of your attention to Rett, so he jumps on him as a way asserting his place or "tamping down" Rett's insecurity? It's good that Rett now goes to you, but sometimes overindulging with affection only further feeds that insecurity. Can you perhaps share affection with both Rett and Butch at the same time, or give Butch as much affection as you do now Rett, then set boundaries/limits on the time that each gets? Just a few ideas, hope these help.
@@laurat1129 Thank you for your comments! Great minds must thank alike, because I am trying to do exactly what you suggested. I tried to avoid using the word jealous to describe Butch’s behavior, because my trainers always bitched at me for giving dogs human like motivations and feelings. I think the sibling rivalry thing is closest to what is going on. I do love on them both at the same time, unless Butch isn’t around, and Butch has not attempted to hurt Rett, so I’ll keep going in this direction. Thank you again for taking time to offer ideas.
@@bevalexander5897 Yes, anthropomorphizing vs empathizing, but you understand the difference and know your own dogs best.😉
A pack is social! They have survived for thousands of years because they have learned to communicate. Trust nature and trust that you know your animal. I have cats, every time 2 of them have a standoff my husband stops them, and I stop him. They are communicating.... if they can't work it out for themselves, 1 usually finds their way to me. "Alpha, make them stop!" There are hierarchies needed, you have to allow them some space to work that out. If you stop every conflict, you create anxiety in the pack or pride.
@PerfectionPending 🧙♀️ Exactly!!! I have rarely had to get between them. And when I have, my size seems to be enough and this is cats! Dogs tend to be a bit easier (I would guess it's because they have the stronger pack mentality.) But when they come to me for help or protection, it was the coolest thing I learned about them, I am a good Alpha, they don't fear me because I have never given them a reason to - but having their trust is so incredible!
@PerfectionPending 🧙♀️ 😺😺😻😺😺 and Hello from Michigan!!!
Great info! I have had a pack for so long that if I’m alone I feel lost. Worst than kids fighting over who gets my lap! Thank you for all you do for those babies.
That was great. I have a pack of six dogs, that get along very well, and I trust them completely. A few months ago I rescued a wonderful pittie mix off one of the highways in GA. I ended up fostering her, we all fell in love with her.
But, she doesn't know how to not annoy my other dogs. She is young and never stops. We were able to take her and my pack together on long walks in our 10 acre lot for a couple of months, but one day, one of my dogs Bella finally got too annoyed over Mabel jumping on Clay and we had a fight. I was by myself, and it took 5 min to separate the dogs. There was a lot of blood, but thankfully no serious injuries.
Now, i keep Mabel separated from some of the dogs, which makes her unhappy, and is quite an inconvenience.
She is my foster, but I know in my heart that 1. nobody wants a black pit bull, I have no applications for her and 2. we love her, and it would be very difficult to let her go.
Been waiting for you to speak about this topic! Thank you so much
What wonderful fur family. 😍
Very good information. I don't have any dogs but I often wish owners would understand their animals better. Mostly I hate tricks. Imagine humans having to do tricks at the dinner table.
Totally agree. Pointless and stupid. They should train fir the dog’s own safety like “stay” or “come”.
I haven't even had my coffee yet and it makes sense to me!!! Lol. Great advice 👍
This applies to children.
You are the pack/kids leader. You need to exude strength. Just like he expects to when needed.
I could exude my strength through just a look. Called " the mom look". Worked every time. It meant "don't.
Thanks Lee! I really needed this video. Been doing it wrong for too long. And looking back, there was no blood shed. It’s the growls and the yelps that make me run in and yell
“Hey!!!” Knowledge is power 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💕🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
I wished you wouldn’t film this in portrait mode but rather in wide angle mode because in portrait mode I miss a lot of things that we should see. I get headaches when the block area is unfocused or different color.
It makes me feel sick and get a headache too.
I tend to agree @Robert Downey, I sure would enjoy seeing more of the dogs as they walk beside & behind Lee, & the beautiful bush scenery. Landscape would capture so many wonderful goings on that we just don’t see in portrait view.
One subject I wish you would address is when owners brag their dog is over protective.. like a badge of honor. Too me, it represents a dog that does not fully trust and /or respect their owner.
Thanks for your love and support towards me and my team

That’s your ignorance about dog’s DNA. Some breeds are incredibly protective, and have been specifically bred over thousands of years, to be so. Independent breeds, that are fully trusted and respected by their owners, to do their job!
Wonderful. You are such a gift to the dogs and to us listening.
Truth. Too many pet owners don't understand that you just need to give them the opportunity to feel out and establish what is going on before you intervene. It's obvious that you have such leadership skills over the pack and they trust you in that position.
Everything you said makes sense to me, thank you Lee👋
That moment when you realize you, yourself has a pack 😮 🐕🐕🐕😅
You did a great job explaining all that, Lee! I learned alot! Even though I don't have any fur babies right now, it's so interesting to hear how it works. Thank you for taking the time to share this. I love listening to you because you're such a beautiful spirit and your tone is so calming and compassionate. Namaste!

I had real concerns recently, when flying over from oz to New Zeland with my JR terrier. She's 13, a bit of a grumpy old lady, and we were going to have to live with my son for a couple of weeks before moving into our own house. He has two bumptious sons, plus a large rescue mongrel. But ... we followed the right option, and let the dogs sort it out. The wee terrier growled, even tried to nip the bigger dog (couldn't reach his chin !). Now they rub along happily, even getting to be friends, on their own terms.
Yep, FEAR… I’m guilty of that lol but doing much better staying calm whenever my 2 boys play rough or when they pester each other 😊.
