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

    Helena, we still have a long way to go with Kwame but i feel more relaxed about him now. The support from people has helped along with the advice. It was such a relief not to go to classes with him on saturday, i felt like a load had been lifted off my shoulders. I guess i felt we should keep going because Malaika has done so well with them. It took a while to become apparent that the enviroment was wrong for him. Kwame and Malaika do try to avoid having the leaders on and occasionaly on the walk will try to wipe them off on our legs ;) however i feel they are worth persevering with as the effect is so dramatic and our walks are transformed. I am keeping the harness in mind though if neccasary, it's good to know there are options.

    @Jylly18: Quercus…did you get my email? I hope the address worked...I spoke to both of the trainers, but have no idea what to look for in terms of certification and stuff. I didn't know if I should put the names on here publicly, so I emailed you. Just wondering if you had any input on which to choose, and wondering if you had heard of one of them. Hope you don't mind my email, and thanks in advance for any advice you can give! I emailed you this morning :) Sorry about the delay!

    How is the crate training with Ripley going? It's been awhile since we've heard any progress.
