Very interesting occurence... The dogs are all vying for a hotspot out in the yard in the sunshine. A very subtle shift in the hierarchy has been observed; Vincent picks his spot, right on Bailey's favourite cushion and sits there very upright, very relaxed, not making eye contact but not settling either. Bailey approaches, waits to see if he will move but within 5 seconds realises he will not defer so walks away again.
This would not have happened in the house, where she displays the same ultra-calm, confident-dominant behaviour towards him when she's on 'her' sofa...
Fascinating to observe. Peaceful negotiation and resolution.
