[Bentleysmomma]

Last summer me and my friend started walking our dogs (male dogs) it was expected the first time they say each other there was barking, but there was no fighting. We have not socialized them since and so we knew we'd be starting over again when we started socializing them this spring. We started at my house. At that point we realized they only fought when we were around. other than that they were so preoccupied peeing on everything they didn't mess with each other. That was day 1. Day 2 we took them to the park. on the way to the park they had to be seperated in the car. We walked them around and then let them off the leash in a fenced in area. In there they were fine runnin around sniffing same areas but not overly close. When it was time to go home i called Bentley over and was hooking his leash, my friend called her pom Tyke over and was hooking his and a huge fight broke out. We saw tyke had blood on him, later we concluded he had bit his own tongue thank goodness. It was still a scarey ordeal tho. Day 3 we decided to try again. Still they had to be seperated in the car and when let loose in the fenced in area they did fine once again. How ever when we were walking they were constantly jealous of one another and ll growls were heard quite alot.

Will they eventually get used to one another? Both our dogs have been socialized with other dogs and had no problems what so ever. So what is with the hostility towards one another? Any ways we can help speed up this process?
Here are some pics from the days out.
