I agree with the others who suggest you talk to the other dog's owner and make sure the dog is current on their rabies shots. I would also photograph the injury in case they raise a stink or there are complications.
Be beyond that, I would consider a different tact.
How about suggesting a play date with their dog? Go to a neutral park and keep them leashed. Walk them side by side out of reach of each other and get them used to each other. If they do OK at that, let them sniff each other.
We've been doing that with a group of dog owners from our city who met online. There have been some fights (among bigger dogs), but the owners addressed the problem immediately. We've really had some fantastic results. Aggressive dogs are no longer aggressive. Eddie and Jack actually play with pit bulls, boxers and 150 pound labs. |
