Habing a dog watch another is good but usually they pick up the bad stuff faster then the good. and it only works if one or both can stay on task and not want to play with each other.

I use my freinds calm dog to socialized any of the new ones aslong as there is not a thunder storm around as I do not want my freinds dog to teach fear of them...
