In this episode, Ed Frawley shares a comment from a viewer about dogs who only seem to fight when the handler is present. Ed addresses this concern and what he would do about it.

Keep in mind that some dogs will never be dog-friendly and are often best served in a single-animal household. If you have a dog like this in a multi-animal household, you may need to strictly manage that dog and the other animals to keep everyone safe and happy. | Links mentioned: How We Manage Dogs In Our Home: https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/14 | Dominant Dog Collar: https://leerburg.com/746.htm | Short Leashes: https://leerburg.com/shortleash.htm | Muzzles: https://leerburg.com/muzzle.htm | Free Online Course with Purchase of Any Muzzle from Leerburg.com - Conditioning Your Dog to Wear a Muzzle: https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/150 | Dealing with Dominant and Aggressive Dogs: https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/137
