Need help with socializing with other dogs

Behavioral Issues
  • N

    My friend has 2 Besenjis and is going on an extended trip. I brought my female boxer over to begin the socializing process.
    We took them for a long walk on leashes my boxer stood patiently while the besenjis smelled her. after an hour of walking we went back to her house all seemed fine,for a while….her 2 snapped aggressivly a few times and had to be pulled away. then calm for about 20 min and i could see the wheels turning again.1 approched her from the front and the other from the rear. i nipped that in the bud quickly. Any suggestions on getting them to accepy other dogs into their pack. i have 2 boxers that are very accepting of other dogs and very patient with smaller breeds. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT.

    @Micmayhall Michelle, potty training when you aren't home all day is hard for anyone. Options include restrict to a safe room with a large pan with potty papers so the pup doesn't have to go in crate or places you do not have made easy to clean. Since they can only go about an hour per month without wanting to go, it's pretty hard up to about 5 mos if no one is home. http://www.clickerlessons.com/housetraining.htm

    @dmcarty: Since they are so young I would assume it is each trying to figure out where they fit in the scheme of things and you may be overreacting. I will however tell you that the one breed of dogs that my basenjis have never liked is ****zu. LOL ….. you know it is all about the hair!

    I agree with JayCee. I had to know his limits with my male and not put him in a position where he would fail. As yes, some dog owners dont understand the basenji play, but some do. I have met a great bunch of folks at the park who have taken some time with their dogs to help mine out. Very much appreciated. No matter what kind of dog you have, there will always be that one person at the park the park who has a problem. I avoid those folks. I also want the park to be safe for all. If someone brings their children in, I remove my dogs immediately since i dont know how they are with children. Always be respectful of other owners and dogs at the park. Anyway, i want my basenjis to be able to play with any kind of dog and not just basenjis. Success so far.

    I agree with Debra…dogs who feel it is okay to growl and snap at their owners to get their way should not be sleeping in the bed. Paulajean, you can work this out...just get some good advice from a good trainer...she is not a bad dog, you just need a way to communicate to her that you are the leader :) Check out Patricia McConnell's book "How to Be the Leader of the Pack (and have your dog love you for it)" you can google it and find it at several different vendors.
