Roger Mugford, an animal psychologist from
\n Surrey who treated another of Princess Anne’s dogs after a similar biting
\n incident, said yesterday that he had been asked to treat eight-year-old
\n Florence. He is expected to begin this week.<\/p>\n

Techniques that he might use included using human "stooges",
\n such as himself, to re-enact attacks with the aim of training the dog not
\n to bite, he said. He did not agree with those who had called for Florence
\n to be destroyed. "There is probably some underlying medical factor.
\n We are not talking about an inherently aggressive or dangerous dog," he
\n said.<\/p>\n

"
\n I am sure it is just a dog who is feeling a bit out of sorts about something,
\n perhaps pain or old age, and is feeling a bit cranky on the day. I will
\n be seeing her. The timing has not been arranged, but it is likely that
\n I will be seeing her next week."<\/p>\n

Dr Mugford, 57, normally charges $531 for a two-hour home visit, during which he works with the dog and owner.\n <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
