Case Study: Luna — Reactivity to Other Dogs Part 1

Abstract

A case of dog-dog reactivity in an energetic older dog, is made more complicated by the client's specific situation and set of needs, and then turns into human-directed aggression as their living situation becomes more stressful. Working within Luna's adoptive caregiver's capacities requires patience and creative thinking. Recommending the client make some difficult decisions in the short-term for the sake of their health proves challenging but necessary. Part 1 of a 2-part case study.
