| Other Dogs Help! I tried my best to adjust Bailey to all sorts of people and situations when she was younger. For the most part I think she's pretty well adjusted. But one thing I didn't expose her to much was other dogs. She seems interested but okay when we pass dogs on walks. But it was another story when my friend brought her new puppy over. I thought Bailey would make friends with him, but she was scared of him. He was a playful puppy so he chased her around a bit, and eventually I just kept them apart. But she seemed kind of interested and approached him while he was sleeping, so later I tried again, but she got so freaked out when he came near her she tried to bite him! I don't want Bailey to be terrified of other dogs and especially no biting! I've been wanting to take her to a dog park but now I'm afraid to. Should I have my friend bring her puppy over again? How to I adjust her to other dogs without her freaking out to the point of biting?

| Don't be afraid! She will sense that. She's obviously not aggressive-just fearful. Plus, she was probably correct in biting the puppy.... puppies tend to be obnoxious (lol) and the older dogs will nip at them to correct them when they're too rough. She was just doing what came naturally to her. They teach each other. She'd probably make better friends with a dog her age and she will get used to the puppy. Jackson literally loves every single dog he meets and goes to the dog park weekly, but my aunt got a young puppy and when I brought Jackson over... for the first hour, he was just concerned with correcting the pup and nipped a few times at him, he was not being aggressive and eventually just caved in to the puppies play.

| Plus, I suppose it is a possibility that they met on her turf and not somewhere else. Just a thought.
