Thank you so much for this!! This was so in depth and it’s given us something else to consider. Ever so grateful

Have you never watched RSPCA and Dogs Trust etc etc, they literally handle dogs using a glove on a stick at meal times… 🥴 so yes, reputable rehoming facilities. They growl at one another during seasons mostly particularly of both bitches are in heat at the same time. So that’s self explanatory...

Oh my gosh! Hopefully our new fenced area is going to stop or prevent issues such as these! Thank you x

Fully understand it’s a valuable resource and it is not removed ever until they have finished unless for a specific reason- they start growling at one another or if we have to (rarely but nevertheless needed) access the units behind where they eat. There is no where else for them to eat but in...

Thank you for being supportive. That’s super interesting he does crib when there is a lot going on around him, turning others out, farrier/vet presence etc. that has me super curious now! It’s never bad no more than a few seconds at a time but it’s something he arrived doing. I never would...

This is a good train of thought and yesterday after the bad behaviours of late we fenced an internal stretch to prevent him from being close to the gate which boarders a public footpath. So if this is an issue hopefully it won’t be any longer.

That’s fantastic advice thank you! I’ve heard people say they feed it, never knew what for until now. I’ll definitely give that a go!

I’m not happy if they growl/act aggressive and they would be straight back to full time training if this was the case. None of what I said suggests they’d be hit/hurt etc if they behave that way just that it wouldn’t stand in my house. I assume owners aren’t okay with aggressive pets of any...

Thank you so much. The vet is due tomorrow so hopefully we’ll have some answers. From what my vet was saying on the phone some ulcers don’t always show up when scoped, hind gut if I’m recalling that right. So if nothing else shows when he has a full work up I may see about an ulcer treatment...

There is zero force they were trained with R+ clicker and high value treating, hence the whole - THEY CANNOT BE POSSESSIVE/AGGRESSIVE over feeding. Repeat training is just to ensure neither is or the dogs are developing bad habits which is actually completely normal and is the same as fully...

They do now but they know if we are near they don’t dare growl or become possessive as on occasion dogs need to be moved during feeding (they don’t rush their feed or can take an hour plus for one in particular to eat). Aggressive/possessive behaviour is not tolerated from any animal ever when...

Never while eating, that was always done out of his stall on a concrete pad so he wouldn’t associate his pasture/arena/stall with the discomfort. No dealing with scabs has been done in 2024 as the issue of the rain scald was resolved at the tail end of 2023. But he seems to have had sensitive...

This is the point. He’s not a new adult horse. I’ve had him a year, the behaviour started less than a week ago. It was not exhibited during racing as I have managed to speak to staff on the yard he was at today. I’ve had him and handled him daily from June other than the 3 weeks I was in the...

Never once said it was, 12 horses 12 stalls can’t be moving them when paddocks are water logged with zero stable free to put him. Also, if he violently attacks humans in a 5 acre pasture the behaviour needs sorting. We don’t all have the ideal set up and hours of spare time a day particularly...

I wouldn’t consider being in a stall to replenish haynets/water as tormenting - our definitions must differ greatly.
