Your dog will pick and choose which dogs she wants to be around. Just like us humans when it comes to picking our friends.Joanne Osbandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14827577414785715569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207983032630393000.post-30963494733780073532013-07-07T10:41:14.135-07:002013-07-07T10:41:14.135-07:00Hi!

Last year, I had to give up the Cocker Shnauzer and 2 weeks later Moo got attacked by my neighbors Shitzhu. Since that time, Moo cannot tolerate small dogs and shows extreme aggression. My best friend sits her and in that house there are 3 golden retrievers with no problems whatsoever. I used to let her run off leash in the dog park with other dogs but she has had 2 mild altercations so now I've stopped going. This hurts me because she so good with people, children, cats, and some other dogs. I really want to have her visit dog parks again. Is there hope?<br /><br />PammieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07828473471261301774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207983032630393000.post-40147438904173236082013-03-12T16:30:18.862-07:002013-03-12T16:30:18.862-07:00Hi,

All dogs are different and what works for one may not work for another. Who knows what is normal?! Keep up the good work!Joanne Osbandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14827577414785715569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207983032630393000.post-24304991811520184682013-03-12T10:49:25.247-07:002013-03-12T10:49:25.247-07:00Hi I just got a 1 year old aussie/golden retriever...Hi I just got a 1 year old aussie/golden retriever mix she is great! My boyfriend already had a 10 month old cane corso mastiff here. They seemed fine when we introduced them but his dog gets very excited around new dogs so she wouldnt really leave her alone when lily was trying to check things out. They have not gotten into a fight but anytime his dog walks by her in the house she growls a little. Is this okay she also did it when his dog got near my son. Right now they are both laying on the same rug together fine I havent even had her a full 24 hours and I know one of them is going to assert dominance I just dont want my kids to get hurt in the process. She is an amazing dog any sound my kids make she is right there any tips. whats normal and whats notnikkilovesnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16078537498170993341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207983032630393000.post-11733300065463315422012-12-15T14:52:51.606-08:002012-12-15T14:52:51.606-08:00Hi Karen,

Wondering if you might be interested in trying an electronic training collar? You can teach your dog not to bark around other dogs as well as not to lunge. Here is an article which tells you how to use a dog training collar: http://www.trainingcollarsource.com/page/934686Joanne Osbandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14827577414785715569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207983032630393000.post-58252629467561157812012-12-15T11:16:58.552-08:002012-12-15T11:16:58.552-08:00I have a poodle/bichon frise mix who is somewhat a...I have a poodle/bichon frise mix who is somewhat agressive. He barks at EVERY person and every dog. He seems to bark more at bigger dogs but is sometimes ok with small dogs. I would like to introduce him to more dogs but he always lunges. I have him sit and stay and let the other dog(s) come to him. He barks and barks.

This way you can control the interaction should it turn into a meal for the Great Dane ;)<br /><br />Check out our website: <br />http://www.TrainingCollarSource.comJoanne Osbandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14827577414785715569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207983032630393000.post-12493527032259171662012-09-28T02:41:59.427-07:002012-09-28T02:41:59.427-07:00Hi Joanne,

I want to ask you a questions, would really appreciate if you can answer.<br /><br />I have just bought a Black Pug male. I already have a male Great Dane, who is quite temperamental and ferocious, when it comes to introducing him to the new Dog. The Pug is quite a catalyst as well as whenever we try to introduce the two, he initiates the other Dog by barking etc. We somehow cannot keep the together and your help will be greatly appreciated. Kindly note that the Great dane is 9 years old and the Pug is 3 months. They are sometimes leashed in front of each other and they bark at each other sometimes. I am not confident if I should let them loose. I am sure the Great Dane will enjoy a tasty prey afterwards.

There must be more socialization ideas to be found with an internet search. Also, read up on the breeds of both German Shepherds and Schnauzers to learn more about their innate characteristics which may play out in the mix.<br /><br />I hope this has been helpful.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />JoanneJoanne Osbandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14827577414785715569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4207983032630393000.post-84790638464621343912012-02-24T23:43:47.281-08:002012-02-24T23:43:47.281-08:00URGENT
