    Study Notes

    Dog Behavior and Intervention Techniques

    • For serious dog fights, use the object insertion method as a last resort to separate dogs, being aware of the risk of injury.
    • A break stick is a tool used to assist in safely disengaging a dog's grip during an altercation.

    Understanding Dog Interactions

    • Ian Dunbar's Bite Assessment Scale: Level Two includes "Skin contact by teeth but no puncture."
    • Warning Responses during on-leash meetings can include no self-interruption and continuous escalation of arousal, but slow interactions are not considered a warning.
    • Intense play behaviors that may require interruption include high escalating arousal, predatory types of chasing, and prolonged grips; however, mounting is not seen as intense.

    Techniques for Managing Dog Play

    • Effective interruption techniques include using treats, making sounds, using a water bottle, or employing shaker cans.
    • The paramount rule in breaking up a dog fight is to never reach into the fight to prevent injury.

    Socialization and Play Dynamics

    • Off-leash parks are unadvised for puppies due to lack of control over their behavior and interactions with unknown dogs.
    • The rules of play for puppies evolve between 16 to 20 weeks of age, marking a critical development phase.

    Indicators of Dog's Play and Interaction Comfort

    • A dog returning to play after being removed suggests comfort and readiness to resume play rather than fear or exhaustion.
    • Appropriate play signs include slow interactions, mirrored behaviors, and self-interruption; mounting and aggressive interactions are not appropriate play.

    Canine Meet Rituals

    • The proper ritual for canine introductions includes:
      • First: Sniffing neck
      • Second: Play bow
      • Third: Calming signals and polite curving
      • Fourth: Mirrored movements.

    Responses and Classifications

    • Properly socialized dogs exhibit slow interactions and non-aligned body orientation.
    • A dog that adapts to different play styles and takes breaks is categorized as polite.
    • Maximum of two spray attempts are permissible before needing to reassess a dog's suitability for play.

    Misconceptions in Dog Fighting Dynamics

    • A quiet fight should not be interpreted as dogs resolving issues themselves; it may require intervention.
    • A loud fight typically indicates more ritualized behavior compared to a quiet one.

    Bite Assessment Insights

    • A growl and air snap are classified as Level 1 on the bite assessment scale, suggesting low aggression.

    Recognizing Behavior Flags

    • Red Flag Responses: Continuous escalation of arousal, rude interactions, and sustained eye contact are indicators of potential aggression.
    • Warning Responses: Fast interactions, slow interactions, and aligned body orientations are cues in assessing the nature of interactions.
