These two dogs in Minnesota had been in a cycle of fights that left their owner feeling stuck and unsure how to move forward.
Even though I’m in Brandon and we couldn’t meet in person, I offered to help virtually — using cameras and video calls to observe their day-to-day interactions.
Instead of keeping them separated, we focused on rebuilding trust and neutrality. The goal wasn’t just to prevent conflict, but to teach them that they’re on the same team. That meant fulfilling each dog individually, asserting calm leadership, and giving them structured opportunities to exist together again — walking, playing, or just being in shared space under guidance.
The first big win? Both dogs were able to rest next to each other calmly — not perfect, but a huge step forward for dogs that once couldn’t share space without tension.
Real behavioral change isn’t instant. It’s built one calm, cooperative moment at a time.
