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. |
Thanks, that makes sense. I know that she was biting out of fear. I just didn't want to let her bite because I didn't want my friend to think my dog was being mean to hers. And I felt like I should make them friends now because her dog is a german shepherd mix and will just keep getting bigger than Bailey (he is already a couple pounds bigger than her at 9 weeks). I guess we'll have to keep trying and just giving Bailey an escape route.
