What I haven’t told you is we got rid of Politically Correct Dog (PCD). We still have Politically Incorrect Dog (PID). It’s not as bad as it sounds. A while back, the in-laws’ lost their dog due to health problems. They asked if they could borrow PCD for a week or so to help scare off squirrels in their bird feeder and because they’ve always liked PCD. Also, they’d been looking for another dog and hadn’t had much luck. Basically, he went there and never really came back. No big deal, really. He was just 3 miles up the street and we knew he was taken care of. [...] [...] I mentioned our inter-dog aggression problems in the past (here and here).

As a result, we decided to take PCD to the doggie psychologist. I made my predictions about what I thought they would say here. I was largely correct but it was good for my recommendations to be affirmed by a professional.

They fear us both equally, which is a good thing. Although we still probably allow them to get away with too much. Our current problem is that Dog #2 is going through a headstrong phase, and we're having to do frequent corrections. Also, Dog #2 has decided to try to but in any time Dog #1 is receiving affection, causing Dog #1 to snarl a bit. So we've been having to correct Dog #2 a lot there, too.

Make them sit for anything and everything. If you wife can rise in the pack, they might not fight as much. Though even though the top two positions are picked the lower rungs have to be fought out.

The good thing is that you know enough to call bull crap if the behaviorist starts talking crazy. I would love to know the results. of the trip and the cost if you are willing to share.
